Summary
Dancers Roberta Tovey and Charles Worsley discuss vintage ballroom dancing, which they define as the revival of historical dances from 1812 to the 1920s ; their coach and fellow dancer Ron Gursky extends the definition back to the Renaissance and farther into the future. They contrast vintage dancing with modern ballroom dancing, and describe their sources of information for choreography, music, and costumes. Gursky discusses the history of the tango, the current craze for the Argentine tango, and the projected events for the Boston Argentine Tango Festival. Pre-recorded video footage shows Tovey and Worsley dancing the hesitation waltz, fox trot, one step, tango, and maxixe ; and Gursky and his partner dancing the milonga and Argentine tango.
