The national tango is performed in a "v" position, and there are strict norms and standards to show off the beauty of the body. Distinct from the Argentine tango social dance, the national standard tango belongs to the competitive sports dance, is for the competition and dance, norms, standards, routines, everything is to show. Ten years of hard practice just for a minute on the stage, just to win the judges' eyes, to compete for the honorable rankings and bright trophies. Argentine tango was born from the pain of pleasure, while the national standard tango is for the pleasure of pain. I have witnessed countless dancers practicing the tango with sweat and sweat, and I have also witnessed them complaining, rebuking, quarreling and even fighting with each other over a single movement problem.... At times like these, shouldn't we ask ourselves - isn't the original purpose of dancing to enjoy ourselves? Then, when the status quo and the original intention is completely contrary, should not we meditate and reflect: glory and aura is certainly desirable, but all kinds of road to the top will always be a thorny, won the championship so what? Become a celebrity, open classes, apprenticeship, money, or even into the right and wrong, fame and fortune of the fight ... ... Is this the life we need? Do we need to live our lives looking over our shoulders in case something goes wrong?
So, I personally gave up this kind of dance after the first national standard tango class. However, it is important to respect any art that can be perceived as beautiful. The tango has its own beauty - the overall feeling of rigor, forcefulness, staccato, often accompanied by head tossing and stuttering movements, a good interpretation of what is powerful. At the same time, here also want to ask the national standard tango dancers can also respect the Argentine tango --
First of all, don't think that the national standard dance good will be able to dance the Argentine tango, this kind of night and day mentality is to the Argentine tango disrespect. Never think that learning Argentine tango with the practice of the same standard, hard to practice routines into, never think that there is "the deeper the background of the national standard dance" is easier than others to learn to learn Argentine tango, even more eager to learn from the online pick some tango video to learn a few styling, and then on the side of the imitation routines while going around to show! "With the national standard model of tango", the final is bound to be incongruous, laughable, which is even more disrespectful to the Argentine tango.
Secondly, like the national standard or like the Argentine tango have their own reasons, can do the standard dance defender, but do not have to collapse in the rumor, bad language. There are different opinions, welcome to rational pat on the back.
Finally, the connection between Argentine tango and national standard tango
This is clearly two different dances, so there is only 1+0.5 connection between the two, 1 connection is the rumor mentioned above, not to repeat. 0.5 of the connection is the dance music, I have heard of the early national standard tango dance music is basically adapted from the original dance music of Argentine tango, except that they are all adapted for the clangorous It's a very single style. The Argentine tango dance music to express the content of the exceptionally rich, almost covering a variety of emotions in life, a song of the Argentine tango is a song of three minutes of emotional story, jumping the Argentine tango is not just for you to interpret the love and hate, but also to let your mind to experience love and hate once again.
Again, Argentine tango focuses on interpreting the melody of the music, which makes the Argentine tango dance steps have a broader extension. The Argentine tango masters not only dance tango, but also tango dance steps to dance can express the emotion of other social dance songs, such as blues, foxtrot, waltz, rumba .... (except for the big vulgar song or the northeast big rice-planting song adapted from the big vulgar dance song), and even the Chinese violin masterpiece "Liang Zhu", the same can be interpreted in a beautiful way.
