[Tango-L] genre bendre

[Jack Dylan]

The first thing they are is professional dancers. My very first Tango 
lessons, in the mid-90s, were with Pablo Inza [with his then-wife, 
Gladys Fernandez] when they were already travelling the world as 
tango teachers. Back then Pablo was super-traditional and 
conservative with short slicked-back hair and suit. Almost 
unrecognizable from his later nuevo reincarnation.

I guess Pablo just likes to push the boundaries and constantly 
experiment with new stuff. But at least he has the training in 
traditional tango to back it up. IMHO, this is often lacking in 
some of the newer Nuevo dancers.
