First there is no such thing as viejo tango...those are your words. People,
especially newcomers on this list, are already confused about names of dance
styles, so let's not create yet another category...second, it is true of any
style of dance that is open and expansive and not about sharing the floor, not
just "nuevo." In a nutshell, it is the difference between performing and
social dancing. Milongas in the US and other places like San Miguel are not as
crowded as Buenos Aires where traditional dancers are very aware of other
dancers
around them and dance accordingly. The same size floor in Bs. As. would
probably hold about twenty couples or more. For your guest to say there is
only
enough room for six couples says more about his tastes in dancing than about
the
size of your dance floor.
