I agree with Mario that fluency is the key and I didn't see anywhere that he suggested "memorizing a routine". I really started to enjoy my Tango when I stopped 'thinking' about it. I don't need to think which foot my partner is on - I already know. I don't need to think what can I lead next, my body already knows. All I need is the music, the space around me and the connection with my partner to tell me.
I know many dancers with 6, 7, 8 years on the dance floor and I can see that they're still thinking "what should I do next". Probably the figures they've learned in their latest workshop. And so it goes on and on ...
