I cant remember one single milonga playing tangos with Gardel's voice. Not once!
Given his prominence as a singer in the tango world I would expect hear his voice in every milongas at least in one tanda. I admit I have very limited experience with tango, so maybe I am just missing the obvious. Anyone with any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tango For Her Sent: Monday, January 07, 2008 8:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tango-L] tango schizophrenia > > That is really good advice TFH, but those things are > all about dancing well, not about developing your > own particular style (whatever that might mean).

So, I was trying to relate that my style really did emerge from finding the right teachers and working on what I wanted. Well, except for the second teacher who was one of those geniuses (not just in tango) that you come across once in a great while. So, anything that he said, I wanted to hear. I already danced well before the lessons. But, I AFTER those lessons, followers always comment on my style. I am proud that my followers comment on how balanced they are and the exactness of my lead. That came from my first set of lessons. I know that I am free from thinking in terms of patterns. That was distinctly from my second set of lessons. I am extremely happy that I receive comments about the softness of my tango. That was, most definitely, from my third set of lessons. So, my advice about developing your own style is to find the greatest tango minds that you can, shell out the bucks, put your chest on theirs in private lessons, and do what they say! Those lessons were close to 10 years ago. Good close embrace private lessons definitely do have a lasting effect. ... Actually, I if it is nuevo tango, exchange of lead and follow, or something of that nature that you want, then maybe the close embrace aspect wouldn't apply. I am just saying that I developed the style that I wanted through these lessons.
