Ron writes: Although it serves as a linguistic convenience, technically there is rarely a 'line of dance' in Buenos Aires milongas, in the sense that couples are progressing in a linear manner, moving forward counterclockwise in concentric rings around the floor
Ron the Urban Myth isn't a myth it’s a fact. Tango has always been danced counterclockwise. The speed which it’s danced depends on how crowded the floor happens to be but it's always forward. The number of forward steps you take is determined by the crowd and it’s always counterclockwise. The very nature of tango is moving forward turning when the opportunity presents itself and then continuing forward especially in BsAs milongas. And Ron if there is no LOD could you explain why every Tango is started with every leader facing counterclockwise? _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
