Ron said: Tango instructors will sell whatever tango students will buy. So True.
Authentic Argentine Tango Price List colgadas milongueras….$80 volcadas milongueras….$100 ganchos milongueros….$50 soltadas milongueras….$75 saltas milongueras…….$75 david In a message dated 4/22/2011 2:28:47 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: It is possible to learn 'colgadas milongueras' and 'volcadas milongueras' in tango workshops. This would appear to be the kiss of legitimacy - after all, if it is taught at a tango festival, it must be real. The problem is this. The term 'milonguera' implies that it is used by milongueros. Milongueros don't use colgadas and volcadas. Of course, someone will protest that they once heard someone say that some milonguero from the 1940s reportedly used volcadas and colgadas (sorry, no film available) when the reality is that he either had a bout of vertigo or had imbibed too much wine one evening. Or someone else will report that these movements are occurring all of the time at milongas in Buenos Aires but they are just so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye (in which case their existence, of course, cannot be disproven). Tango instructors will sell whatever tango students will buy. Next we will have (if we haven't already had) ganchos milongueros, soltadas milongueras, saltas milongueras .... whatever. Buyer beware.
