My previous post had a few links to Rudolph Valentino's "Horsemen of the Apocalypse", that illustrated the tango style of the early 20's. Here is a short clip from the Carlos Gardel movie "Tango Bar", released in 1935. Style is a lot smoother but the embrace still wrecks the woman's back, lol. If the A.T. embrace of the 1910-30's indeed was like that, where the man was fully or half to the side of the woman, it makes a lot of sense why Ballroom tango connects where it does and how it does; man's foot always goes in-between the woman's feet.
This clip is actually all of the tango dancing that can be seen in the 58 minute movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOpAvx5tpUg JK _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
