I understand that nuevo tango is merely a "means of analysis that enables us to identify the movements and combinations of movements that are common in traditional tango, and to re-use them in ways that are not common in traditional tango." - Andres Amarilla I may be a 60 something close embrace dancer, but I am almost embarrassed by the curmudgeonly attitudes expressed by my fellow dancers. I remain totally unable to comprehend the animosity towards what is merely an extension of traditional tango, and which is danced by many (including Andres & his wife Meredith) to traditional tango music with beauty, grace, and musicality. Is it jealousy? Is it fear of change? Is it bad tribal behavior? Evolutionary biology meets grouchy old people? I'm clueless! Cheers, D.
