| Descripció: | This paper investigates the early separation of tango dance styles during the first decade of the 20th century, a process scarcely discussed in literature on the genre. These styles were labeled by contemporaries as creole and plain. It is proposed to discriminate which were the different social spheres that sheltered dance practices in each case, and, from the perspectives developed by the Anthropology of Dance, reconstruct the different sensitivities linked to both styles of dance. For this, the press of the time is utilized, as well as skits and soap operas that in those years gave rise to the new genre that was beginning to prevail in the Buenos Aires social dance. It is proposed that this differentiation of feelings that were expressed around each style of tango dance, even if it generated strong controversies, ended up facilitating its dissemination to social sectors and areas of sociability other than the Buenos Aires society. |
