I read an interesting blog post (Tango Voice) on this issue recently. The author (apparently anonymous) defines tango by - the close embrace - the characteristic walk - molinetes - the tango music - the ronda I don't think you need molinetes to have a tango, but the article is interesting anyway: http://tangovoice.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/definition-of-tango-where-are-the-boundaries-in-contemporary-tango-stage-tango-tango-nuevo-contact-improvisation-tango/ Ron _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
