Yes, I'd say that was fast swing music. > - The dancing they are doing to this music? (e.g., "swing") No, they are definitely not dancing swing. I'd call that a fusion of tango and jazz dancing, leaning heavily on the tango side. Most of what they are doing is standard tango stuff, with a few jazzy bits thrown in. > - The dancers? They are tango performers, as simple as that. Performance dancing rarely fits precisely into a particular dance genre. Performers fuse elements from different styles to create a distinctive style of their own in order to be visually interesting. -- Myk, in Canberra _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
