you or anyone could mention only one variation in tango dancing that was not
created in Buenos Aires. Only one.<

 

My 2 cents:

 

Pick the variations done by instructors who come from other dances besides
tango. Query them what variations have they brought from other dances such
as: ballet, classical, folclorico, etc. You are asking the wrong people?
What do you think people coming from different backgrounds are contributing
to tango? Would people from Buenos Aires coming from other dances add to
tango's authencity by just the fact they are from Buenos Aires, Argentina?
At what point Tango continues or stops to being authentic?
