Nuevo dancing was only ever a lot of bad dancing with a few exceptions. What's different now is that people are less excited by bad dancing. >From the deck at Walzerlinksgestrickt last Friday I watched one of the few couples who are still trying to do this stuff in the crowded Berlin milongas. Seeing how the regular dancers formed a protective exclusion zone around them. Exclusion... What's eliminating nuevo dancing is the simple fact that it is not social. It is anti-social. Hereabouts it now lives only in the artificial world of the workshops that teach it and the show demos a.k.a. commercials of the step pedlars trying to make a living from them. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
