[Tango-L] Limitation vs Challenge (was "Nuevo" Dancing to Di Sarli)

[HBBOOGIE1@aol.com]

“Tango works as a community endeavor, not solely  as an individual one. And 
I think an important element in these conversations  over the past few 
weeks has been looking at how we can encourage personal  expression within a 
given social framework that people don't want to see  changed. Given the 
history of Tango-L, I think it's pretty cool that we can have  an intelligent 
conversation without name-calling or insults.”

“Tango works as a community endeavor not solely  as an individual one”  

To me this is the challenge for the “Nuevo  Dancers” to work on a way to 
compact the moves eliminate the endless kicking and  twirling and respect the 
floor…no wait a minute…that would take the “nuevo” out  of what they do 
and transform them into respectful tango dancers. There must be  another 
solution?  
In ballroom there is American and International  style. American follows 
the line of dance and International moves diagonally  back and forth across 
the line of dance. The two cannot co-exist so the solution  is separate dances 
and it works. Perhaps this is what the organizers should do  for Nuevo it 
could work. On the flip side Nuevo would be banned from traditional  
milongas. 
Just a  thought.
