Teacher: Omar Correa

The State Does not dance the Tango - published day 28 of May of the 2005 in the newspaper
"Observer" the Omar Correa teacher is forceful: "there is an Eastern tango and an Argentine tango ". This distinición, according to the tango professor, "does not contribute to an intellectual sinceramiento" but that is "offensive, chauvinista own of a mind that wishes to promote the flocks". Be that as it may, our neighbors of the other border much more know clearly the importance of the tango as ambassador of the culture. In Uruguay, it continues Correa, "there is from no those who it decides cultural-and policies receive by it directed strategies to support the tango" losing opportunities to project an activity that "goes much more there of the dance". The teacher emphasizes that when a foreigner arrives at Buenos Aires to dance tango, he not only consumes tango; to that interest it is necessary to add to him in addition to the airplane ticket, the hotel or the pension where one lodges, the restaurant to which is going to have supper and everything what consumes during his estadía. From its point of view, the incorporation of experiences as the classes of tango in the Foyer of the Theater Solís are positive, since it can contribute within the framework to hierarchize the tango of the cultural agenda. The fusion experiences that occur in nonbailables scopes - electronic music with jazz and tango, as Bajofondo Tango Club, by example as much enrich the rate from aspects technicians as aesthetic. Correa assures that this gives rise to that the tango dances "tries to accompany these initiatives" with the incorporation by new elements. "the permanence of the tango must to its capacity to renew", says. Either, according to the educational one, Uruguay does not reinforce the areas of formation in the National School of Dance does not teach tango, nor bandoneón in the University School of Music. Argentina returns to be reference: Uruguayan that they want to optimize the their formation watches the agenda of Buenos Aires looking for the last course on offered tango.
