It appears to me that some on the list would have us believe that tango was 
born in the Golden Age and always had the set of 
attributes that we now associate with tango.  We walk around small, look 
elegant, are musical, keep our head and eyes up etc.  One 
of the interesting things about Petroleo, and indeed all of the first, or 
second, or third ... generation tango dancers is that many 
probably danced in a way that any number on this list would find objectionable 
and call "not Argentine".  I suggest that posters 
reflect on this 'ere they post remarks too critical of their fellow dancers and 
the way that they dance.  It can be insulting to 
those of us who chose not, or are simply unable, to dance like your favorite 
Porteno. 


Yours in dance, 
but perhaps not in YOUR dance, 

David
