>> I think there are 3 types of tango:
>> 
>> - Show tango, when you dance for someone to watch, perform as an artist. It
>> requires guts and artistic skills!
>> - Personal tango, when you dance for your partner and yourself only, when
>> you are looking for dance trance ( or whatever else you call it ),
>> and
>> - Social tango, when you come to meet with your old friends, make new
>> friends, communicate, chat,  learn something new, experience touch,
>> cooperate in a united activity, help a beginner, just live as a social
>> being.
>> 
>> These are the only differences between them. Everything else: what you dance
>> and how is irrelevant. These 3 are not defined by any dance styles.
>> 
>> Someone dance show tango, but in fact it is a Personal one.
>> And someone dance Personal, and it appears to be a Show!
