OK..maybe this theme was discussed in the archives....should I therefore only
research archives on Tango-L? ...and never post? I'm sure that some would
love that.
Anyway, the new stuff is all happening in Nuevo, that's why it's called
Nuevo...There
are new combinations and new ways of looking at all the possibilities and
what exactly
the dance "Tango" is. The intellectual element is also in Nuevo, they are
addressing the
'structure' of the dance, de constructing it and attempting to make a
'science' of it all...
Chris U.K. may see all this as 'Nuevo's' blatant attempt to make a living
but let's face it,
Chris is overlooking much too much of the force and innovation of the new
approach.
My personal fear is that the close-embrace will be relagated to a few
speak-easys in BsAs
and more and more dancers will be expecting distance between the leader and
follower.
My turn-on is the connection. The music is wonderful but the Tango connection
is like making love,
even better in some ways. If this connection goes, we lose a lot...at least,
I do.
