Are you referring to the general style of the dancing at the milonga or just
the performances?
Well, I am currently in Buenos Aires, and am seeing more and more tango
performances in the milonga that have less and less Argentine tango in them,

It appears to me that some on the list would have us believe that tango was
born in the Golden Age and always had the set of
attributes that we now associate with tango. We walk around small, look

Trini,
Thank you, thank you - absolutely magnificent! And did you notice
how almost all the YouTube comments were in Spanish?

So what has prompted tango to evolve in the past? Women's fashion changes.
Changes in the music. Space
