That sublime tango flow thing....

[Zoopsia59]

Thats it I'm going to organise a fancy dress hat milonga; with a prize for the couple who can dance close embrace wearing sombreros!

This reminded me of the video clip of the guy dancing with flippers....

a slight tangent; further to coolness; in the uk my perception is that the cool guys aren't dancing tango; they're dancing salsa, reggaeton, hip-hop, kizomba and maybe ceroc ( DB are you cool?)

Bloody freezing at the moment. Should turn the heating on I guess...

But as I've moved from ceroc to salsa to tango, I suspect I'm getting progressively less cool. Which is cool by me.

Or, to paraphrase the Monks Of Cool:
"When asked what is the coolest dance, the only correct answer was 'Dude, the one that I do' "

Sorry, was there a thread topic somewhere?

 

[Dave Bailey]

The cool guys are the ones who wear hats! Because you don't dance with a hat on unless you think you're the bee's knees (regardless of whether you are or not!)

Christ, don't get me started on hats.

They Are Not Cool.

Too right. There are more prats in hats in AT than any other dance form.

I'd be very surprised to find many cool people dancing Ceroc.

I think DB's cool, and know several other people who think so!

 

[Peaches]

Really!?! I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've run across people wearing hats. Actually, perhaps on one finger...there's just one guy who wears the same hat regardless of time or place.

 

[Zoopsia59]

The tangodiscovery girls always do not know the cross (Mauricio Castro Syllabus). But nevertheless I like dancing with them. And if you lead the cross, they can dance it.

(my bold)

I think you've actually just raised a topic (perhaps for another thread) on whether the cross is led or automatic. If they do it when you lead it, then obviously they DO know the cross.

It sounds like they are coming from the tradition of the cross being led, not an automatic thing that followers are supposed to do regardless of whether the leader indicates a cross.

Awww.... I'm almost tempted to go up to Cambridge now.

Well, almost.
