[Tango-L] what makes milonguero, milonguero

[Keith]

Timmy in Cleveland,

Your phoney list has already destroyed any supposed attempt to engage in meaningful 
dialogue on the differences between close embrace salon and milonguero. And it also 
demonstrates that you don't really want any such dialogue. All you want to do is 
denegrate those who don't dance your concept of milonguero.

And, before you ask, I'm not going to waste my time commenting point-by-point on 
your pathetic list. You obviously have no idea how close embrace salon is danced.

>1. A Milonguero is basically just walking his entire dance, very close, and   
>  not separating or opening very much. (yes, they breath a little, but     
>not much)
>2. A Milonguero steps all of his turn to the beat of the music.
>3. A Milonguero walks a higher percentage of the dance in the cross           
>walking system vs. Parallel.
>4. a Milonguero stops or pauses the lady on one foot, he is on two.
>5.  A Milonguero does not do Gaunchos, or throw the lady up in the air 
>    and land her on his knee. And a lot more embellishments.
>6. Yes, a milonguero can do Boleos, but the women's foot stays on the 
>    floor, not lifting up in the air.
>7. a Milonguero dances for his partner, not the audience.
>
>NOW, would you like to correct any of my differences or add to the list.
>Please, I'd like to hear your thoughts
