[Tango-L] TANGO 2000 ............For DUMMIES

[NANCY]

This is, in fact, from the show "Milonguissimo" that has been produced off and on for several years at Confiteria Ideal and other places.  I recognize the dancers such as Miguel Angel Balbi and others.  The cast changes from time to time but Oscar Hector is the producer.    I am surprised that Rick McGarrey used it to illustrate his Blog because he surly knows it is a show and not a typical milonga pista where these gentlemen dance.

I am sorry to say, but what is written on that page is paranoid and 
false. The videos do not illustrate what is written there. Neither the 
'threatened' couples act as it is described, neither the near-accidents 
happen. Also, this appears to be the final dance of a show and not a 
milonga. There are barely people on that floor.

The only thing you've pointed out that Gustavo likes to dance with more 
energy than the others and he is using space as it is available. All his 
moves are easy to anticipate, and he is judging the other couples moves 
well that they won't deviate into his path.

I must go back to my previous observation:, that most 'traditionals' 
appear to idealize dancing where each couple is granted a football 
field, and supposed to be moving as handicapped snails following more 
unnecessary rules than the entire US Civil Code, caselaw included (no 
wonder we have so many rules in the modern world - most of them 
unenforcable). If this is the case, yes, I understand that these people 
want to organize their own milonga. I guess a separate one each...
