One from Tango-L:
Originally, nuevo tango was something very exciting. We all did it and worked like demons. And loved it. Now it is just a lot of bad dancing (with a few exceptions). (by Nina)

I have many memories of this place, going there with a book, being greeted by a “Hey you’re still here, how comes you haven’t given up yet“, reading my book and sipping tea
The more you watch the dance of a Master, the more you discover of Elements, Methods, Structure, Feel, Shape, and even History. It is a whole world in a Master’s dance. It has depth, it is multidimensional, multilevel, cross-connected in time, space, and sense, developing, contrasting, balanced, and integral. And soulful. If you watch a dance of not masters - you have feeling that you’ve seen it all. Oh, yet another one. Want-to-look-like-Masters adorn like crazy, boleo wide. And this is it. That is not what counts.
Unfortunately, often Masters do not care about being recognized as Masters.
Happy are warriors: it is easy for them to find who is the best: one slash of a Master, and not-Masters lay down dead. It is not like that in dancing..
It is difficult to recognize a Master. If you are not a Master yourself.

The first reviews are out, the first copies have shipped: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is here. And where are the “top secret” features Steve Jobs talked about?
This is one big difference with our town and Buenos-aires. when a foreigner comes here we can safely assume that his/her tango is better than ours.
