Jeanne Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED] posted to Tango-A: Negracha and Diego are traditional milonguero-style tango dancers and enthusiastic teachers of the close embrace. Their classes focus on a single aspect of the dance, giving students an opportunity to completely absorb several variations of each movement. Starting with simple walking steps, they gently encourage students to progress to front and back ochos, boleos, giros, and ganchos.
Traditional milonguero-style ... with ganchos????? Friends escorted a couple from Ecuador to the milonga Nino Bien last Thursday. They said it was 99% tourists. Her exact words were -- que porqueria! Yesterday I went to my second home to dance where I know the music will be excellent with a good level of dancers. The visitor at my table made the observation that two lanes of dancers existed. That's the way it should be. Everyone danced simply with the music. It was a pleasure to sit and watch as well as dance in this milonga. No one did a boleo or a gancho. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
