The Cambridge companion to tango
\"An innovative resource which shatters tango stereotypes to account for the genre's impact on arts, culture, and society around the world. Twenty chapters by North and South American, European, and Asian contributors, some publishing in English for the first time, collectively cover tango's history, culture, and performance practice\"-- Provided by publisher.

DA PARTICIPAÇÃO DAS MULHERES NAS DANÇAS EM BARBACENA - MG (Cidade de Barbacena, 1915-1930) 1
Palavras-chave: dança; mulheres; Barbacena - MG Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze the participation of women from Barbacena - MG in the dances between 1915 and 1930. The newspaper Cidade de Barbacena is the source of the research and it is available in the Historical Library of the Luiz de Bessa State Public Library in Belo Horizonte - MG. [...]there were journalistic discourses that sometimes condemned the practice of dances, especially the so-called modern dances, accusing them of being immoral and with characteristics that deformed the patriarchal family ideology already established, especially the figure of the woman, as well as speeches that showed permissiveness for the barbacenenses to be in the dancing moments. D. QUIXOTE, articulista do Cidade de Barbacena, sugerindo a existencia de um estilo de dança futurista, inspirado nas técnicas do futebol, o \"<>\", ressalta que pelos progressos femininos seria a mulher que chutaria o homem para fazer gol, e nao o contrario7.

129 Immediate effect of Argentine tango practice on persistent symptoms and postural control deficits associated with concussion
BackgroundConcussion, or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), increases risk of brain and musculoskeletal injury after return to play (RTP). Dual-task training options have been suggested as a way to improve neurorehabilitation from concussion, thus reducing the risk of injury with RTP. To begin to evaluate the impact of dual task training on functional restoration, we report the immediate impact of an innovative dual task paradigm (Tango) on neurocognitive and neurosensorimotor symptoms.ObjectiveAssess within-session impact of Tango on symptoms and postural control.DesignRepeated measuresImmediate impact of Tango (pre v. post session; paired, 2-tailed Student’s t-test)SettingCommunityPatients (or Participants)Adults with persistent concussion symptoms 3+ months after date of injury.Interventions (or Assessment of Risk Factors)One-to-one Adapted Argentine Tango dance lessons (Tango).Main Outcome MeasurementsPrimary Outcome Measure: Symptoms Score (Sports Concussion Assessment Tool v3). Secondary Outcome Measures: Postural sway (sway) during quiet standing with eyes closed (30 seconds minimum) measured through center of pressure (COP) calculations of resultant variability, velocity, and complexity (respectively: root-mean-square amplitude, mean velocity, and sample entropy calculated using the increment method).ResultsThree participants referred from an Ohio State University concussion clinic underwent 16 one-to-one Tango sessions. When measured immediately before and after each Tango session, improvements were demonstrated in total symptoms score (p=0.001) as well as sway variability (p=0.007), velocity (p=0.013), and complexity (p=0.021). Per session, mean (SD) Tango dose to music per session was 24.2(5.2) minutes and Rating of Perceived Exertion was 9.2(1.4) (Borg scale, 6–20). Rating of Perceived Comfort during postural control testing with eyes closed was 1.1(0.3) (9 point scale, 1 high).ConclusionsTango is feasible for adults with persistent concussion symptoms to engage in as a dual task activity and may help to improve persistent symptoms as well as postural control. More research is warranted regarding implications of this activity for supporting RTP.

The gods of tango
\"February 1913. Seventeen-year-old Leda, clutching a suitcase and her father's cherished violin, leaves her small Italian village for a new home (and husband) halfway across the world in Argentina. Upon her arrival in Buenos Aires, Leda is shocked to find that her bridegroom has been killed. Unable to fathom the idea of returning home, she remains in this unfamiliar city, living in a commune, without friends or family, on the brink of destitution. She finally acts on a passion she has kept secret for years: mastering the violin\"--Dust jacket flap.

retro-Tango enables versatile retrograde circuit tracing in Drosophila
Transsynaptic tracing methods are crucial tools in studying neural circuits. Although a couple of anterograde tracing methods and a targeted retrograde tool have been developed in Drosophila melanogaster , there is still need for an unbiased, user-friendly, and flexible retrograde tracing system. Here, we describe retro -Tango, a method for transsynaptic, retrograde circuit tracing and manipulation in Drosophila . In this genetically encoded system, a ligand-receptor interaction at the synapse triggers an intracellular signaling cascade that results in reporter gene expression in presynaptic neurons. Importantly, panneuronal expression of the elements of the cascade renders this method versatile, enabling its use not only to test hypotheses but also to generate them. We validate retro -Tango in various circuits and benchmark it by comparing our findings with the electron microscopy reconstruction of the Drosophila hemibrain. Our experiments establish retro -Tango as a key method for circuit tracing in neuroscience research.

Dancing tango : passionate encounters in a globalizing world
\"Argentinean tango is a global phenomenon. Since its origin among immigrants from the slums of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, it has crossed and re-crossed many borders.Yet, never before has tango been danced by so many people and in so many different places as today. Argentinean tango is more than a specific music and style of dancing. It is also a cultural imaginary which embodies intense passion, hyper-heterosexuality, and dangerous exoticism. In the wake of its latest revival, tango has become both a cultural symbol of Argentinean national identity and a transnational cultural space in which a modest, yet growing number of dancers from different parts of the globe meet on the dance floor. Through interviews and ethnographical research in Amsterdam and Buenos Aires, Kathy Davis shows why a dance from another era and another place appeals to men and women from different parts of the world and what happens to them as they become caught up in the tango salon culture. She shows how they negotiate the ambivalences, contradictions, and hierarchies of gender, sexuality, and global relations of power between North and South in which Argentinean tango is - and has always been - embroiled. Davis also explores her uneasiness about her own passion for a dance which - when seen through the lens of contemporary critical feminist and postcolonial theories - seems, at best, odd, and, at worst, disreputable and even a bit shameful. She uses the disjuncture between the incorrect pleasures and complicated politics of dancing tango as a resource for exploring the workings of passion as experience, as performance, and as cultural discourse. She concludes that dancing tango should be viewed less as a love/hate embrace with colonial overtones than a passionate encounter across many different borders between dancers who share a desire for difference and a taste of the 'elsewhere.'Dancing Tango is a vivid, intriguing account of an important global cultural phenomenon\"-- Provided by publisher.
