…but We Love Argentine Tango
It seems that the majority of people demand the “perfect traditional” wedding with a marriage in a religious temple, something blue/borrowed/old, bride’s maids, ushers, etc (or whichever traditions follow your culture and beliefs). Yet when it comes to tango, the majority of those who dance tango shout, “Screw tradition!” and turn their noses up at it. We hate traditions – I wore a red dress (that is us in the header picture), had bride’s dudes, and didn’t scare with any of the superstitions. But when it comes to tango, we respect it. We respect the dance and the culture it is. We are the ones who are called “snobs” for assigning this respect to tango and not creating our own nuevo style (excuse us as we gag). No, we don’t have some secret closet desire to dance nuevo. It’s soulless…it’s boring… and it all looks the same (men with their “waiter hands” and spineless movements, and women with their breaking hips, bouncing shoulders, and voleo marathons). Blah!
We’ll take this:
Over this:
ANY day!
