Writing that there's no such thing as "Nuevo" is enough to start a spirited discussion. "Gustavo and Giselle are the best living tango teachers in the world today," is an opinion that's not universally shared. Just about every promotional announcement that came across the wire said the advertised teacher was the best.
Michael Came home to New York where the Argentine Tango is better -----Original Message----- From: Nussbaum, Martin (Law) Sent: Friday, April 17, 2015 12:52 PM I can't believe people are dredging up these old "nuevo" debates, must be trying intentionally to revive list thru antangonistic postings. There is no such thing as "Nuevo", there is only good or bad dancing, given the circumstances (performance or social) and partner, spacing, music, etc. I doubt that Mario sopolete ever took a seminar with GyG. Gustavo and Giselle are the best living tango teachers in the world today. Their dance is a masterwork of interpretation, phrasing, musicality, and theme. The intimacy and joy they share on the dance floor is the reason I started dancing and a continued source of inspiration today.

I remember when Tango L was last active...in the golden days of yore... my favorite debate revolved around Traditional and Nuevo dancing and music...having seen what happened to the golden years of Flamenco (50's) once the gypsy kings got hold of it, I was sure that Argentine Tango would go the same route to trivia...but it NEVER HAPENED !!! and today, by my own observations, the traditional dance is more popular than ever ..world wide .... was it as predicted and we grew older ??? any comments ?? watching a recent video of Gustavo and Giselle looked more like a Tango burlesque than a profound dance...to me, anyway....any comments ???
