The first time I saw Tango ( social dance) it was by a singular couple on a
dance floor built into their second floor...I was floored...first it was the
music
and then it was the embrace of the couple dancing..pure beauty to me..a hope.
The second time I saw Tango (social) it was at a practica where everyone was
dancing close embrace..I was dumbfounded..I'd never seen such beauty in
public...a hope.
Now, I've tried watching Nuevo with 'open eyes' imagining myself doing
it...not
Sure, it can be pretty and so can salsa...so what? ..and besides the fact
that it needs
three times (at least) the space of abrazo milonguero, I just have no
interest in dancing it.
What the heck is it doing at my dance event??? That's what I can't
understand..
It's not an evolution nor an improvement. It's a dis-connect as far as I'm
concerned.
With my first love, the Tango has a beauty that is indescribeable. We've all
seen the
pictures of couples locked in ecstatic embrace..sleeping, dreaming, laying
together
in the walking embrace..what are these other people doing? ..and who let them
in
to do it here? Don't they know that this is a celestial dreamroom and not a
skate-board park??
