Styles of Tango

[opendoor]

D'Arienzo was the regular orquesta for years in cabaret chantecler on Parana in the city....

Would really be interested in your opinion: if you would think that the audience in Chantecler was dancing so differently that it was not appropriate to label their style also as club?

not sure how you would define the characteristics of club style, but from what I've heard, the musical style preferred by dancers in the cafes & confiterias in the central city of Buenos Aires was typified by Juan D'Arienzo. Compared with musical style of DiSarli preferred in the salons of the outer neighborhoods like Villa Urquiza & Parque Patricios

On this board, as well as among some teachers & dancers, I've heard statements like "there are no styles of Tango". In this vid one couple explores some of the varieties of Tango dancing. Are they different styles?

you decide.

a History of Tango - danced by Sebastian Arce & Mariana Montes in Bucharest


they dance to:
Invierno – Franciso Canaro – “Canyengue” an old style currently recreated primarily from written accounts & the memories of those who observed the dance as small children.

De Que Podemos Hablar – Carlos DiSarli – “Salon” style popular in the outer neighborhoods like Villa Urquiza in the 1950’s.

Ansiedad – Juan D’Arienzo – “Centro” style popular in the central neighborhoods of Buenos Aires & popularized outside of Argentina as“Milonguero” style.

Estampa De Varon - Juan D’Arienzo – Milonga.

Esta Noche de Luna – Osvaldo Pugliese – “Fantasia” a style for performance.

Fueye – Roberto Goyneche –“ Nuevo” a style evolving from the previous styles.

I finally got around to watching the video (better late than never, I hope). Thanks for posting this. A few of the styles I had heard of, but wasn't sure what they were. This was very informative.

..label their style also as club?

Simply as confiteria style (del celtro) with giros, as said above. In the golden age craze the milongas moved to bigger locations (sporting and social clubs) and the people adapted their dancing to the new environments. As we discussed elsewhere (think it was the YT interview with Cacho Dante) the club and the salón attendees did not really mix that days. Think dChester was really surprised because he always used to identify salón with saloon instead of salon and club with nightclub instead of sporting club.

I don't recall being surprised at all. I simply said that your definition of salon is more narrow than mine.

But without this artifice/artefactum (don´t know how you call this kind of device precisely in english) no pointed statement would be possible at all, and thus no dialog. Honestly, was is worthwhile only to be in each others arms?

I think we had touched on a lot of this stuff in a prior thread.

The discussion went on for several posts, not just this one.
