[Tango-L] bad, wrong, Nuevo

[Nina Pesochinsky]

Yes, that is correct.  It was exactly like that .  Argentines were 
not willing to sell out the sex, the embrace, the man-woman thing, 
for funky movements.   It is only in bad nuevo style that the woman 
became absolutely superfluous.

When a woman can feel a fabulous scent of a man's skin, when he is 
not afraid of her, when his embrace is confident and spirit bright, 
she will forgive him any and all weird tango moves for at least 10 
minutes.  Bad nuevos have not figured this out yet :)
