Hola Mario,

Thanks for posting this! This demonstration dance by Rodrigo and Mila is so
beautifully musical, playful and connected! A lovely melding of traditional
salon intimacy with the gyrotonic extensions of nuevo. Magnificent leading
Dear tango dancers,
I have been invited to present a paper about tango touch mainly drawing from
my own experience of the inclusive classes I facilitate in London, teaching
tango to people with various degree of visual impairment/s (only in the last two

I can accept the hypothesis that you can dance any type of step to tango

one accepts that there is no generic tango music, can dancing to non-tango
I disagree. I'm with Trini on the separability of names for the music and
the movement. If you turned the sound off on the video and watched it,
would it look like tango? Well, then, to me, it's tango. Of course, if it
doesn't look like tango to you with the sound off, then don't call it

Sorry to need to respond again. Figures can be used to seemingly add
validity to any scenario. Prior to 30 years ago, I've read that tango was

American Rumba is danced to a rumba beat. If you were two blocks away and
couldn’t hear the music but could see the dancers there is no doubt you
would know they were doing a rumba.
