Stupid, without meaning steps.This new breed of tango dancers, as they trying to mimic the great chicho and arce, are simply inventing new but useless feet figures(which are performing them poorly) and they even get paid for it!!! They make money and reputation basicly by faking tango.

Shame on you gotanika, I would like to see you dancing and then we can talk. I found your comment respect less.

Peace Greece.

Well this was a lively debate. Take a look at the recently uploaded video by gotanika (August 09) and then read gotanika's comment again. It may make you smile. Dearey me petal!

[tangoexperiment]

I agree with you that there are a lot of disrespectful comments out there, and this was one of them. Its one thing to make a comment about posture, technique, musicality, etc... That isn't what happened. Really the comment was most insulting to the people taking the class, as if they were incapable of determining what kind of dancing they enjoyed and should instead only dance in the "traditional/meaningful" way. I'm not sure what that means, as there has always been change...

[2xTango]

You´re right, probably I was a bit rude with gotanika and everybody can say I like or not this kind of dance. The problem is sometimes I read comments without respect to the people who try to transmit what they know.

Greetings.

I doubt that there is any feeling of mimicry. There is a simple reason why they are getting paid to teach... the people in the enjoy dancing in the style of the teacher. You don't like that style/ want to learn to dance as they do, fine, no one is forcing you to. Where I disagree with 2xtango is that I think that the way in which you dance is irrelevant. It is the attitude that your steps have meaning but these don't which is troubling, not your qualifications as a dancer.

[tangoexperiment]

I basically agree with 2xtango that this is a pointless/direspectfull comment. It is sort of similar to many of the comments that I see posted on "nuevo" videos. How can you say that these steps are without meaning? In fact what is the meaning of saying, "without meaning steps?" The meaning is that it is fun and enjoyable for the couple to do, and is a way to bring out different rythmns in dancing. What is the meaning of any step? As these dancers are friends with chicho, sebastian/mariana

[gotanika]

Dear 2XTANgo. I tried to reply with video response but i saw that you already have dozens of great tango videos. My dancing, and my abilities are irrelevant to our comments here. Perhaps if i was Argentine my comments would have more importance for you? I can have opinion and taste and since these people are exposing themselves ,they are subject to critisism. I wish that your reply has something to do with my comment and not for my dancing. The topic is the stupid steps and the tango trash.
