[Tango-L] Nuevo tango just another evolutionary wave

[Amaury de Siqueira]

LA has a very interesting group of Nuevo tango
dancers.  Had a chance to see
some of them at 'El Encuentro' and other venues. 
Unimpressive and often
time annoying.

I have absolutely no trouble watching, learning, or
doing nuevo tango - and
I'm an old geezer in his 60s.  And I certainly don't
shave my head or grow a
goat's-beard beard or dress in cargo pants.

In fact, I usually wear a vest and tie and dance dress
shoes and an Armani
suit or jacket - NOT for snob appeal but because
Armani designs are
engineering marvels: comfy, fit right off the rack,
and feel as light and
cool as elven illusions.  Then as the evening wears on
I strip off vest then
tie then jacket and eventually shift to a short
sleeved shirt.  And once a
month I wear jeans and a tee and tennies just to play
around with styles.

I think all of you gritching about how awful and
shallow and inelegant nuevo
is are a bunch of old fogies regardless of your age. 
Or maybe a bunch of
children who never grew up.

Lighten up.  It's just another of the evolutionary
waves that tango has gone
through ever since it was invented.  Eventually people
will assimilate the
good parts and reject the silly parts.

And the young pups of today grown older will be
gritching about the next new
thing!
