Here in this list as in other places (living rooms, classrooms, pubs, restaurants) and under the rubric of other topics (mostly the fine arts and sometimes politics and religion) argumentation is subjective to one's experiences and learning process. Unlike exact sciences dance is art and therefore subjective to one's interpretation.
I will comment on this a little later. The sad thing is to use dancers and their respective efforts to achieve excellence as a theme in a debasing exchange. Lets respect dancers for achieving excellence through discipline and true sacrifice. Similarities between their musical interpretation and our preferences is secondary. Having said that: I can see both sides. Gustavo at times seems to push the envelope introducing dynamic and unorthodox movements. Beautifully executed, I always enjoy viewing his dance. I enjoy much less observing less skilled dancers in a crowded milonga trying to execute similar moves with less success. Wasn't Copes also an agent of change when he catapulted Argentine tango from the social dance floor to the performance stage? Fabian Peralta on the other hand execute a nice and slow dance. I also enjoy watching his dance and btw I love Bahia Blanca :-). Both dancers are excellent in what they do. I am sure they can deliver great performance in either style. Finally, I would like to ask the entire community of dancers to show more kindness and respect to the dance and each other. This brief exchange (and disagreement) underscores a lack of tolerance and respect that is not positive to those witnessing.

So there! Real tango way of thinking! But no, if you know the tango technique in details, you would realize, that there are very many people that are far better than Gustavo. And in a hypotetic fight, they'll win. You are just blind to see it, because you youself don't have the level to. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
