[Tango-L] The spread of Tango

Janis sent me a link to her youtube collection. Below is a link to a Lo de Celia Tango Club milonga.

Regardless of style, EVERYBODY is dancing close embrace.

Janis Kenyon posted some youtube videos from Por Lo Celia on her blog but I forgot the link. Google can probably find it.

I don't define traditional as to whether salon or milonguero style is danced but by logistics. Single and unaccompanied dancers sit across from each other in a well illuminated room and cabeceo is used to invite and accept a dance. This by itself is enough to separate BA milongas from those in the United States where the room is usually dark, cabeceo can't be used, and women look like commuters waiting for a late subway, bus, or train to arrive.

It would be nice to have a video tape to illustrate what is meant by "traditional milonga", which sport several styles I believe. I went to 
Por Lo Celia, which appeared to be quite traditional milonga and they dance "salon" (I define salon as a style closer to Urquiza, which many 
Milongueros dance as well).
