Welcome to Kung Fu Tango. This is the person that started the whole Nuevo craze and then years later apologized for it. Here is step by step instruction on how to dominate and disrupt the traditional floor. Now you might understand why real tango dancers tend to get a little upset and frustrated. http://www.tangoandchaos.org/chapt_6school/36nav3.htm

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 _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
