Thank you Igor for putting me onto such a facinating issue. Here I was expecting to Google a quick fix but instead stumbled onto layers and layers of debate and standards. To say this is not a browser problem is strictly correct but a gross over-simplification. As I understand it (I am not a we

[Tango-L] What is a Master

2007-11-16 Thread Igor Polk
What is a Master. The more you watch the dance of a Master, the more you discover of Elements, Methods, Structure, Feel, Shape, and even History. It is a whole world in a Master's dance. It has depth, it is multidimensional, multilevel. If you watch a dance of not masters - you have feeling that

[Tango-L] TANGO AND THE GEOMETRY OF THE DANCE

"When Providence places us in the presence of someone who has acquired a certain mastery in the art of Tango, we would greatly benefit from his / her knowledge by asking questions pointing to the “why” perspective. To simply stay on the “how” level, drastically limits the depth of the communicat

[Tango-L] Tango Conversations

2007-11-16 Thread Keith Elshaw
It's easy to put oneself in a category, noticing that many other dancers are not the same. We could be new or experienced; like to dance close, or not; prefer nuevo or not, etc. Here is a category I am in: I don't REALLY enjoy dancing if there is no conversation. By that I mean - both people expr

Hi Kushi... I find it interesting that the tango video you chose to "best express how you feel about tango" (versus nuevo or fantasia/show tango) is danced to a song that is not an argentine tango song. I saw "steps" and "vocabulary" being danced entirely disconnected from the music and absent an

Astrid, Indeed, it is interesting why you are so bored to watch Tete ( and Silvia )? Without any hesitation you assumed that is it so because Tete is bad: "Dance is too fast", "No accentuating music", and cheap tricks like "Look Ma, no hands", and so on... Have you checked the opposite idea? I

It is not a browser problem. No browser will ever wrap the HTML text in a window. When you send an e-mail to Tango-L, you actually publish it on Internet. And you even do not know where it is going to end up. So it is better to stay on the safe side. If you want your posting to create positive
