[Tango-L] Traditional Tango

[Barbara Garvey]

Amen! This is what was thought of as the best salon (social) tango and 
taught exclusively as such prior to 1994. This is what today's younger 
(and older!) tango stars learned to dance in the milongas, before 
expanding the vocabulary for exibition.  Believe me  it can be, and was, 
done on  crowded floors, in line of dance. Nuevo tango used this style 
for analysis to go beyond into a new variety of exhibition tango.
