Crossing over from ballroom to Tango

[AndaBien]

I meant dancing specifically to different versions of El Choclo...What I was wondering is, doesn't knowing the versions in detail effect the way you dance to them, even subconsciously? For me it does. I don't think about what is coming up - I just respond from having the music within me, from analyzing and hearing it so many times. I'm specifically talking about dancing to the El Choclo versions, not dancing in general.

I would definitely dance differently to the various versions of El Choclo that you mentioned. I would also dance differently to those orchestras generally, regardless of which tune they were playing.

For me, D' Arienzo has a more rhythmical and emphatic sound, and that's how I would dance. Di Sarli sounds much more lyrical and I would dance that way. De Caro has a simpler orchestra and orchestration, so my dance might be simpler, maybe more repetitive. If D' Arienzo played a tune that came out sounding very lyrical and smooth, similar to Di Sarli, I would dance lyrically and smoothly.

Agree on all points...

D'Arienzo, I think. At about 1:08 in? And then later around 1:35 a scary, piercing sound - kinds of sounds like the bathtub knife scene in Hitchcock's Psycho

Biagi? Firpo? Quinteto Pirincho?

I have versions by D'Areinzo, Firpo, Biagi, and Canaro. Only the D'Arienzo sounds like you describe...
