During my numerous conversations with milongueros over several years, I have
never heard one of them say that his way of dancing tango is the best way to
dance. On the contrary, they respect each dancer's right to dance the way
he feels the music. They may not like the way each person dances, but
nonetheless, they acknowledge that each has a right to dance the music as he
feels it.

Dancers will have the opportunity to talk to Ricardo Vidort in Denver this
weekend. He has danced for more than 60 years in the milongas. Pedro
Sanchez, who turned 70 on Saturday, will be in the US during November.
