Golden Age of Tango
Well, you know I've wanted to take dance class for ages. Anyway, the tango they teach today didn’t come about until the late 1930s, so it's probably very different to the original style. The modern style is usually danced with flowers and a kind of musical instrument, those things you hold in one hand, they make a clicking sound. You mean castanets. That sounds fun, my friend brought me some back from Spain when I was a child. Maybe I still have them somewhere. Did you know there are three different kinds of tango today? Which one do they teach? The form known for stage, sometimes is referred as "for export", is aimed at English speaking people. So I suppose they teach that one. I think tango is becoming more and more popular nowadays, some of these classes are already fully booked. The Golden Age of Tango took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s, I guess it's having a revival! What's the phone number? We should hurry up and book the classes.
M: 男人 W: 女人 W: 是的,你知道我这些年来我也总想上舞蹈班。不管怎么样,他们现在教的探戈是20世纪30年代末才出现的,所以很可能跟原始风格大不一样。 M: 现代风格通常是跳舞时拿着一些花,一只手拿着一种会发出咔嗒声的乐器。 W: 你是说响板吧。听起来很有意思。小时候,有个朋友从西班牙给我带回来一些响板。我应该还有,也许放在什么地方了。你知道如今有3种不同的探戈吗?他们要教哪一种? M: 舞台上常见的那种,有时被称作“出口货”,是针对讲英语国家的人们,所以我想他们会教这一种。 M: 我觉得现在探戈越来越受欢迎了,有些班已经全部报满了。 W: 探戈的黄金时代是在20世纪40年代末和50年代初,我想现在是复兴时期。 M: 电话号码是多少?我们应该赶快预定课程。
