5652  Ball or Heel? (6)
The subject of walking on ball or heel has been discussed many times and I've always believed it was just a matter of personal preference. I've always walked ball-first because it's the way I was...

5653  Is it Balls, or just a Heel? (24)
?Tango is a Man/Woman equation..anything done to modify that will fail to produce THE Tango feeeeeling.? It is the guy who asks the girl to dance. He can be refused. Some get refused at least once every...

5654  Is it Balls, or just (7)
yes Jack, thanks...but I didn't give the first guy I turned down a reason, nor do I think it is necessary. I just smiled and said "not right now thanks". That should be enough... I donlt think anyone...

5655  Invitation & refusal (11)
Hi all. Dan asked: My opinion as a woman and sort-of-traditionalist: NOBODY (neither men nor women) should invite directly by asking someone to dance with him. If you're using the Cabeceo (Mirada) you...

5656  Invitation and refusal (6)
I agree with Melina, she nailed this topic. Use the cabaceo, people, it works, everywhere, even in America. Its human nature. The only exception is where milonga organizers keep it so darn dark you... saying that if a woman...

5657  Travelling argentine tango teacher (1)
There is another travelling tango teacher in Germany. Marcelo Alvarez de Argentina :-) I didn't find much about him over the web, he seems to be a folclore dancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oemc22NPk5g

5658  Let's save the social dance! (11)
I've been following the debates on Tango-L for a year and a half. Most dramatic for me, has been the clash between Nuevo and Traditional styles of dance. The topic becomes even more confused when one...

refusal) Martin N. touched on this topic in his post and I'd like to re-post my question from a few months back. This is directed to all and any who host/organize milongas in the US: Why do you...

5660  Rhythm or Melody? (13)
To everybody, A very basic question - should Tango be danced mostly to the rhythm or the melody? Jack Beginners - rhythm. Pro - combination. Sent from my iPhone, from somewhere... If you are a follow, this depends on the skills of the leader, and what's appropriate for the music. The orthodox answer would be to say that the feet should always be in rhythm, but the lead should...

5662  20th century girl... (2)
ARGH!!! Now that was a freudian! But when I think about it: I listen to 70s and 80s music, I dance Tango... I AM actually living in the 20th century.... But - what the hell - women's liberation and...

5663  Aus International TangoFest (20)
Thanks Myk. Last night I talked to a guy from Melbourne who attended the festival. He said that there was one Argentinean teacher couple there who were so average not only as teachers but as performers...

with the apperance of the new troll on the list i ask this question. WHO IS ANYONE TO JUDGE? if there are no legit certifications or standards for argentine tango (and there are not) how can anyone judge...

Having spoken to my NZ contacts last night, who attended their classes at the NZ festival, seems that they were better teachers in the intensive immersion course before the main festival workshops.

5668  Tango Teacher & DJ Reviews :: New Blog (8)
After reading the thread on teacher feedback, I thought about a blog as a simple solution. I've created a quick and dirty blog so people can leave anonymous comments and feedback on teachers and DJ's.

I'm sorry but I think this is an absolutely terrible idea. reminds me of the Black list of the '50's. As someone else pretty much said in commenting on this... one person's honey is another person's...

Alex I read reviews of movies all the time and generally I can get a feel from the comments as to what I can expect from the movie. But I still go with my gut feeling even if 90% of the reviews are...

Ezequiel) [rest of post deleted] Well, there was certainly more than sufficient disclosure in this post for the Tango-L rules. Since there has been so much discussion about it (and now a blog that...

5673  A pair of great walkers (9)
Two great walkers (how would you say that in Spanish?) I love how this couple reveals the music to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nSMK_ubSl0 I would also love to see Milongas where a tandem or...

5674  arm angle, keith, huck (9)
I disagree with these guys, especially for social dance. Guys who stick out their left arm greater than 90 degrees, or 135 as huck suggests, yikes! , or even wider as I've seen in fashion lately,...
