I don't think anyone dancing Argentine tango (be it "Nuevo", whatever the meaning du jour is) would be happy with that label, though. Just as little as some more traditional tango dancers would like "Grandpa's Argentine tango for corpses" as a name for their dance, and for the same valid reasons. Besides, as I said, there's a continuum of dance expressions in tango, which is what makes much of its charm (every advanced couple actually distills its own style). To try to bin the styles and label them is as cruel to tango as is piercing butterflies with a needle and sticking them in a frame with a label. -- Alexis Cousein [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Engineer/Solutions Architect SGI/Silicon Graphics -- <If I have seen further, it is by standing on reference manuals> _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
