Vicente Lopez estilo

[newbie]

It does not exist, I randomly picked a name among the BsAs areas, I am just starting a timer to see how long it will take until teachers specialized in this style start to appear in each major city.

I thought it was a general agreement that every great tango dances dances his own style? :)
But I think I see your point. It is funny indeed how some seem to exploit the urge of giving a catchy name for everything...

hi newbie, can you ask to delete your thread? Post it again without explanation, only with some characteristics of ViLo´s style, and we will see, how it will go on... By the way, has someone got some old video material?

An article in El Tangauta (Oct 2010 #192) gives us the creators of the new salon tango style being taught at Escuela Tango Brujo.

Watch for workshops in your area by Jose Halfon and Virginia Cutillo.

Vicente Lopez was famous for having having his left leg slighlty shorter than his right;despite this he was an expert in tango liso, but when he danced milonga he used this difference to great advantage both musically and in in creating a nice dipping motion which ladies enjoyed. ;)

Hey no, Vicente Lopez is an area in BsAs. The Vicente Lopez style is the way tango is danced in this area. That is, exactly the same style than in any other BsAs area, including Villa Urquiza.
I am just promoting a name, and given enough time, people will start elaborating upon it, some Susana Miller will trademark the name and promote the idea that the Vicente Lopez estilo is the only true, authentic, porteno way of dancing tango.

Would you mind linking a couple of videos to illustrate what are you talking about?

Damn. My point is missed entirely. "Vicente Lopez estilo" is only a name, a mere bunch of words, with absolutely no actual content. You just take a BsAs street and you add "estilo". Bajo Belgrano estilo. Lo de Hansen estilo. It's a bait and I am trying to fish teachers. The same kind of teachers who are exploiting the "Villa Urquiza estilo" bunch of words at the moment.

If you want to help, go to other dance forums and post things like "We were at Nino Bien and one old couple was dancing I heard two guys at the next table saying, hey now this is Vicente Lopez estilo. I am leaving in Detroit, are there tango teachers here who teach this style?"

[tangogo-dancer]

Funnily enough, there's a teacher here who claims to be of the Vicente Lopez estilo. From what I can tell, it is quite similar to the VU style, but it is of course quite different from the Ernesto Boludo estilo. Or it may be the other way around, I'm getting mixed up sometimes.

Ok, I was indeed too quick reading and missed the sarcasm. But I'd want to debate whether I missed a point. I mean just because you could glue "estilo" to other barrios and get absolutely no content does not mean that, for instance, this is what happened in the case of Villa Urquiza.

Rhetorical point - yes. Cogent argument point - no.

I'm sure they did.

We have him and his brother, the legendary Jacobo "El Colgador", to thank for their contribution to the pleasure of tangueras everywhere.

Many people don't know that Jacobo El Colgador and his sister Maria Volcada were actually conjoined twins in their youth which not only required each to have a partner and learn to dance, but also gave rise to the unique style each developed in their teaching.
