The 'Walmartization' of Tango....
MEGA WORKSHOPS jam packed with teachers in glitzy locations around the world are a common sight today.
How far from the bohemian ?atmosphere of local dancing ?bars these events have become. ?Siting in a circle sipping mate while enjoying a friendly talk with teachers and dancers are simply not possible in these MEGA events.
Similar consumerism driven actions have also?existed?among teachers. ?Some have created imaginary divisive lines across styles others have claim invention of a complete new form of true AT.
How sad all this seems to be...
"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."

Amaury is right. It is sad.
Tango is very simple. It is nothing more than music, poetry and the embrace
of two people. But many people never look long enough into these simple
things to see the beauty that they offer. They don't see that no other
invention is needed.
Best,
Nina
