I was at Practica X one night when Dana Frigoli & Pablo Villarazza (the founders of DNI) and Pablo Inza and Mariela Sametband danced improvisationally to music selected by the crowd after a tandem seminar. Milena Plebs showed up to watch them perform and was enthusiastically appreciative. It's interesting to consider that, in contrast to other people's scornful denigration...
I've never attended a class at DNI, and that evening at Practica X is my only experience of Dana & Pablo. To me it seems that they clearly offered much to deepen the tango of dancers no matter what their personal style of social dancing might be--and their improvisational performance was exquisitely musical, creative, displayed much dynamic range and graceful technical facility, intimately connected, evocative and inspiring. --Ira Ithaca, NY At 7:22 PM -0700 4/16/08, Huck Kennedy wrote: > As I read through this article, I was so hoping for a cargo pants >reference and almost thought I was going to be disappointed, when >finally--Yes!!
