MHO in this discussion is that one should not criticize in a negative form
other people's dancing. At the most one could say I do not like the way he
dances, or I like his dancing style ... If absolutely necessary one can have a
general discussion of movements of the arms in milonga candombera but without
putting anyone on the spot.
...everyone is entitled to have his own style.
I do not think that Jean-Pierre deserves any criticism, quite the opposite, he
should be congratulated. He (IMO) is obviously doing a great job, his dancing
style is elegant, has great sense of the rhythm, he has taken the time to share
his accomplishments with us, videos and beautiful pictures. He is a good dancer.
Even more, if you knew "Candombe" or "Milonga Candombera" you would think that
Jean-Pierre is dancing according to the style.
The Milonga candombera is different from the regular milonga, it may adopt
certain movements of the body and the arms, imitating the Candombe itself.
I am enclosing some examples.
