[Tango-L] differing views of tango evolution

[Jack Dylan]

I agree that there's no problems with porteño nuevoists; I danced for 
weeks in BsAs without seeing any nuevo. But, IMO, that's because 
they have their own places to go to satsfy their needs. And that's my 
whole point; separate Nuevo and Traditional Tango and the problems 
end. 

All that remains if for nuevo instructors, outside of Argentina, to educate 
their students that they don't dance nuevo in traditional BsAs milongas. 
What they do in their own countries is up up them but I would hope that 
they'll follow the lead of BsAs. Btw, I learned nuevo in BsA from Gustavo 
Rosas and Gisele Natoli and they definitely told us not to dance what 
they taught us in the milongas. I also saw them many times at Canning - 
dancing very nice traditional tango :-)

I think one problem is that, while porteño nuevoists can also dance
traditonal tango and are able to enjoy the popular, famous milongas of 
BsAs, foreign nuevoists can only dance nuevo. But that's their problem.
