You might want to look at this url to get a bit of perspective.

  It's a musical. The Tango crowd meets the West Coast Swing crowd and gives birth
  to...  SWANGO !
  I know someone who is now taking "swango" lessons. He has stated that this may
  lead him to learn Argentine Tango.
  Well, 60s rock and roll, and the Blues Brothers eventually led many of us to learning about the original blues music that preceeded rock. So maybe it's not all bad.

In my great random cruisings of the internet I tripped across references 
to "swango" which is supposed to be a fusion of swing and tango. 
(http://www.swangoseattle.com/, ominously enough, googling it also gives 
references to Michael Swango, the famously creepy serial killer.) Now, I 
don't know much about dancing, but it seems to me that these are 
mutually exclusive -- sort of why we don't have ancient Babylonian Gods 
that are half lion & half carrot. Can someone really simply explain to 
me how they could fuse these and still keep a majority of people 
vertical afterwards?

Just curious and I thought it would give folks something new to gnaw on.

Cheers,

Jeff
