many of the great ones did in that era.... "

Interesting.

Is this how we should all look?  Hunched over with bent legs?  I'm not intending any disrespect, 
because, as you all probably know, I am one of those "nearly anything goes dancers."  But I do 
imagine that a number of regular posters to this list would find much to criticize about this 
style if it were to appear in their milonga today.  

Probably not even Argentine Tango.  Don'cha think?
