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 dancers. Surely, we can extol the many virtues of Tango without denigrating other dances and other dancers.
