Dear friends from Tango list, this is a translation from the press conference
given by new minister of culture from buenos aires gov ernment ( on december
9th there was a change of government and therefore some civil servants were
removed from their posts, one of them was Mrs Simon , director
Ten years ago - 1997-1998 - definitely not 'golden era' but anyhow,
I went to practicas a lot with a man in his 60s, born in BsAs,
'a real live porteno' ;-)
but at that time residing in Sweden.
He always had his keys hanging from his belt, like Trini describes
it.
Since he loved leading a lot
The number of those who advertise themselves as teaching tango milonguero or
milonguero style in Buenos Aires is growing along with the demand. It is
unfortunate that dancers actually believe they are learning tango milonguero
from teachers who have never studied or danced with a milonguero.

Hi Jay,
Very well said. What you have written below is pretty much all I ever do,
crowded or not crowded. I hope followers enjoy it, I do. Of course, doing
these things 'to the music' is most important. I sometimes think when doing
more fancy ganchos and boleos and more complex patterns, some
Before start writing, I should clarify that I believe the experience of
Milongueros and Milongueras is invaluable, and each day this precious life

Hi buffmilonguera!
Thanks for writing...good point... Aspen has had influences from Denver

Argentine Milongueros ( some ) are important because they curry the great
spirit, intricate technique, and deep knowledge of styles which is mostly

as for your comment on more about human nature, you should read the
traditional martial arts discussion lists.
Mario and others,
I agree with everything Jay and Ed have said, that is pretty much my repertoire
as well and I dance pretty much only in close now. Sure I know (or knew ;-))
other stuff, but it falls out of my daily dance if I don't find it useful in
expressing the music. Mainly I find that
