This movement, sometimes called 'el puente' (bridge) can be seen now and then in Buenos Aires milongas, but one may have to wait an hour or so scanning the floor to see it. However, in this movement, the woman is not displaced from her position, i.e., her feet do not change position. It is

Thank you for correcting it. It was probably a Hunglicism :) The most likely reason is that I spent only ten days of my life in an English speaking country. Also helps when your parents speak the language and it is the only way they talk to you while you grow up, which in my case was not a

What about cargo pants? And you didn't say anything about having to wear designer sneakers with suede glued to the bottoms of them. What do cargo pants have to do with dancing? I mean fashions changed quite a bit during the last 100+ years of tango and I would say that if

What a delightful read Aron on what is tango: tango as it was danced does not exists anymore, as ALL the original social factors, institutions, locations, cultural background has changed, disappeared or was replaced by other forms. So why do so many people make a pilgrimage to BsAs? cheers

No, but in tradition-minded BsAs, dressing in elegant sport (no jeans, shorts, cargo pants, or athletic shoes), is in respect to the tango. Normally gentlemen wear nice slacks with a button shirt. Jackets or tuxedos are not necessary. cherie http://tangocherie.blogspot.com

When I was learning tango in the mid-1990s, nuevo clearly referred to the work of Gustavo, Fabian and Chicho. Nuevo meant analysis and exploration. I know that these days some people use nuevo to mean a style (or even a music?... although that doesn't make any sense to at all). To me style

Recently I looked at Tango Bar again. I seemed to remember that there was an awful lot of the moves that are usually thought of as nuevo in there. There is in particular one scene in which dancers dance to La Comparsita in a very elegant setting. They appear to be in very close
