Hello,
I'm intrigued by this term "confiteria style" which,
I guess, is another name for the same thing as
milonguero style or downtown style or apilado style.
How old is the term "confiteria style" ?
Is it a reference specifically to Confiteria Ideal
or some other well-known locale?
I find the term "confiteria style" irresistibly charming;
I love coffee, snacks, tile floors, marble counters ...
to dance a tanda or two would be the icing on the
cake, so to speak.
While we're on the subject, how about "downtown style" ?
(i.e. estilo del centro) When did people notice that
the dance was different in the center versus the outer
districts?
I'm aware that "milonguero style" is a relatively recent
term and in fact we know who invented it; so let's just
leave it to one side for now.
