>From a recent post by the one person. Quote 1: "Who appointed you the adjudicator of what is and what is not Tango?" Quote 2: "compare what happens in Maipu 444 on Saturday (Cachirulo) with what happens in the same place on Wednesday (La Marshall) with what happens at Nin~o Bien with what happens at "X." They are all tango."
I am continuously amused by some members of this list who are opposed to any succinct definition of tango, yet themselves make assertive judgements of what is and is not tango. If my participation in this list has taught me anything, it's that tango can't be described accurately by anyone as there is no measure by which any comment can be judged. This may be tango's strength or its ultimate downfall. In my opinion tango is the playground for un-credentialed judges - an activity that can be fun to watch or make one pull their hair out. (my apologies to the knowledgeable tango teachers and dancers who know they're right because ........)
