[Tango-L] resubmitting in plain text

[Jocelyn Paine]

Alistair Macaulay, the dance critic of the NY Times, has a blushing  
rave of Gabriel Missé and Natalia Hills in his piece about the  
upcoming NYC fall dance events. It is worth listening to the  
multimedia link to get the audio expanded version and hear his  
enthusiasm. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/arts/dance/13maca.html  
For a non-tango dancer (I'm presuming) he shows a moderately good  
appreciation of the dance. His review of them at the Vail  
International Dance Festival is even more breathlessly impressed.

What impresses me is that Macaulay is criticizing tango in the  
context of the larger forum of the dance world, up against other  
forms of dance, and still singles Missé and tango out!! Finally, a  
recognition not tangled up with musings on the sensuality, passion,  
erotic lure, etc. (though he pants a little about Hills' dress), but  
more about the athleticism, the precision, the training, the skill.
