The word milongue\u00adro, though it lite\u00adral\u00adly means someone who spends a lot of time in milon\u00adgas, had come to be used to mean someone who had been a regu\u00adlar Tan\u00adgo dancer during the Gol\u00adden Age, befo\u00adre the 1955 coup. While the choice of the term was obvious\u00adly inspi\u00adred by the desi\u00adre to distin\u00adgu\u00adish this style from the steps domi\u00adna\u00adted style danced on stage, the unfort\u00adu\u00adna\u00adte and unfo\u00adre\u00adseeable con\u00adse\u00adquence was that <strong>it set up the idea in people\u2019s minds that this was the <em>only<\/em> authen\u00adtic social Tan\u00adgo style<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The dancing of the peo\u00adp\u00adle who were dancing in the Gol\u00adden Age remain\u00aded unch\u00adan\u00adged<\/strong>, and one could still go to milon\u00adgas away from the cent\u00adre of Bue\u00adnos Aires and see <strong>peo\u00adp\u00adle doing the most fabu\u00adlous\u00adly com\u00adpli\u00adca\u00adted steps in a tru\u00adly authen\u00adtic and com\u00adple\u00adte\u00adly social way<\/strong>.
