Ah? Styles exist to *specifically* disrupt the line of dance? In other words, they specifically mandate you should disrupt the line of dance? If you think it applies to any style that has received a label, I'd like to see documentary evidence of that stated aim ;). I personally don't believe it. Teachers and dancers may not have been taught any awareness of the ronda, but that doesn't mean their *style* is danced specifically to disrupt the line of dance. It's usually (when danced in a social context) an unfortunate by-product of what they think is "important", of their teacher's teaching style or of the local culture, and in that way divorced from the actual style. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
