Hello...
It happens that I have an extensive explanation of this very subject.
The difference between A/T and Ballroom and what Argentine Tango truly

this man sings

I think of Tango as more of a head game than a dance...
And I used to call it on my early pages, the Chess of all the dance
games...

My experience has been that ballroom teachers emphasize doing the pattern
as taught. If you deviate you are scolded, either by the teacher or your
partner for not dancing what is being taught.

Ha! I do understand both sides...
That there is no need to identify it as Argentine Tango.., as there is
only one true Tango. And on this list especially, that is only Tango
that should be being discussed.
But.., the way I handle the other side of it.., is that I say I Tango.
If someo

Never mind.

Floyd,
Has it ocurred to you that the person asking might actually dance American
or Ballroom Tango and might actually love it. And you've just insulted THEIR
dance. It's precisely this type of elitist attitude that causes many dancers
from other genres to dislike Argentine Tango and/or AT danc

Huck,
Hate to burst your bubble, but anyone who dances Ballroom, but not AT,
thinks that Arnold is dancing Argentine Tango in True Lies. I've also read
that in a few reviews of the movie. As for the music in the movie - it was
