[Tango-L] Villa Urquiza style

[Nina Pesochinsky]

Hi, Oleh,

Villa Urquiza is well represented by Sunderland.  It is not so much  
about a "style" with obvious elements, but more about the dancers who  
were from that barrio and made some mark on tango with their own way  
of dancing and their identification with Villa Urquiza.  To this day,  
there are dancers that pride themselves for being from Villa Urquiza  
and for dancing regularly in the milongas there.

Sunderland is a great place to explore that.
