Just trying to ascertain whether Barbara is inferring that close embrace Tango style originated around 93-94 with Tete. I do have several photos from around 1900 which clearly shows the man's right arm totally around the woman as could only be achieved with close embrace.
Anton "As for the origins of close embrace, Tete was, as far as I know, one of the first to teach the style, in 1993 or 4, under the auspices of Susana Miller. In 1994 Daniel Trenner told me all about him, her and milonguero style as the only true form of social tango. He then began to propagate this myth at Stanford Tango Week." _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
