“Tango works as a community endeavor, not solely as an individual one. And I think an important element in these conversations over the past few weeks has been looking at how we can encourage personal expression within a given social framework that people don't want to see changed. Given the history of Tango-L, I think it's pretty cool that we can have an intelligent conversation without name-calling or insults.” Trini de Pittsburgh
“Tango works as a community endeavor not solely as an individual one” To me this is the challenge for the “Nuevo Dancers” to work on a way to compact the moves eliminate the endless kicking and twirling and respect the floor…no wait a minute…that would take the “nuevo” out of what they do and transform them into respectful tango dancers. There must be another solution? In ballroom there is American and International style. American follows the line of dance and International moves diagonally back and forth across the line of dance. The two cannot co-exist so the solution is separate dances and it works. Perhaps this is what the organizers should do for Nuevo it could work. On the flip side Nuevo would be banned from traditional milongas. Just a thought.
