[Tango-L] Gustavo and Giselle

[Michael]

Writing that there's no such thing as "Nuevo" is enough to start a spirited
discussion. "Gustavo and Giselle are the best living tango teachers in the
world today," is an opinion that's not universally shared. Just about every
promotional announcement that came across the wire said the advertised
teacher was the best.

Came home to New York where the Argentine Tango is better

I can't believe people are dredging up these old "nuevo" debates, must be
trying intentionally to revive list thru antangonistic postings. There is no
such thing as "Nuevo", there is only good or bad dancing, given the
circumstances (performance or social) and partner, spacing, music, etc. I
doubt that Mario sopolete  ever took a seminar with GyG. Gustavo and Giselle
are the best living tango teachers in the world today. Their dance is a
masterwork of interpretation, phrasing, musicality, and theme. The intimacy
and joy they share on the dance floor is the reason I started dancing and a
continued source of inspiration today.  

Best, 

Martin

Subject: [Tango-L] Whatever happened to NUEVO ??

 

I remember when Tango L was last active...in the golden days of yore... my
favorite debate revolved around Traditional and Nuevo dancing and
music...having seen what happened to the golden years of Flamenco (50's)
once the gypsy kings got hold of it, I was sure that Argentine Tango would
go the same route to trivia...but it NEVER HAPENED !!! and today, by my own
observations, the traditional dance is more popular than ever ..world wide
.... was it as predicted and we grew older ??? any comments ?? watching a
recent video of Gustavo and Giselle looked more like a Tango burlesque than
a profound dance...to me, anyway....any comments ???
