Most of the self-proclaimed tango gods nuevo or otherwise are good at only one thing and that’s disrupting the floor for the people who are dancing social tango. They should all be required to put on tee shirts that say, “I’ m a idiot” In a message dated 4/3/2011 6:56:36 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: At least here in Boston most nuevo dancers are more experienced than regular ones, they use the space efficiently - large moves when there is no danger to others, small confined moves when there is not enough room. I saw Damian dance when he was here. It was a very small-space milonga (the space is so tight you are pretty much required to dance in close embrace, which in effect sorts out the beginners who can only dance in open). He was doing nuevo moves, controlling his mujer very efficiently. But one wrong move and her stiletto heel was driven into the foot of the lady behind her. That lady was off the dance floor for the rest of the tanda. I watched it and thought that accidents happen to everybody, but a self-proclaimed tango god should be better than that. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
