Establishing their embrace, dancers set their expression, usually deadpan. It distantly relates to the admired detaches expression of dancers among the Yoriba of Nigeria and Bakongo on Kongo. Lapazo called the effect cara fea (ugly face). It goes back to back compadritos and, before that, to camdombe.
Unaware of the mask of black cool and its history, certain critics of tango have misread these signs of control. One called the tango as cold as reptile, another as “an expressionless dance… for automatons.”
This rule of the milonga can be honored in the brech. Young couples sometimes smile at each other and old troupers do, too. Bur talking is normally taboo. Why? It dissipates the power of the dance.

TANGO AS DANCE
"The shape of the tango is amde up of moments: a swift sudden entrance, a sweep of the feet, an advance, a retreat, a halt and a start, a displacement of hips, and a freeze, as if hanging in air" (PABLO ZIEGLER, 1997)
