[Tango-L] European and American pseudo-tango dancers

[Krasimir Stoyanov]

No, nothing to do with the style, it doesn't matter if it is nuevo or 
milonguero or classical salon.

There is a feature, that makes it true tango. Again, I am not going to 
explain, all you have eyes to see.

Two more examples:
1. Milonguero

2. Nuevo

Again, nothing to do with style, it is technique, not style. And it's 
fundamental for the way dancers feel and move.

Dear Krasimir,

They are really nice, but this is simply the question of
style-preference. It is very strange that you picked this recording. It
looks exactly like when a stage dancer tries very hard to dance like a
milonguero proficient in salón style (sometimes disregarding the music
altogether, which is not really characteristic for milongueros I
know...). Most "very milonguero" people I saw doesn't have such posture
and fluency of moves (and the slightly cheesy intro) like these stage
professionals, but they give you a little more downtoearth enjoyment of
the music, the partner and what they do.

Nevertheless, nuevo technique is here to stay, even if the actual style
will change considerably towards less movement and less open embrace moves.

Cheers,
Aron
