Oh no, this is really going in a strange direction. I think that the 
traditional tango is not known or understood if traditional tango dancers 
are characterized as "Slicked-Back-Hair, Rose-in-the-Teeth, Pretentious 
Windbag[s]". No wonder some folks are going to the alternative route. They 
don't know how really good the traditional tango really is... It saddens me, 
not angers me to see the tango music and dance that I know and love to be so 
maligned.... Truly, the tango (the real deal) is so captivating and 
fulfilling that it needs nothing more. No offence, but all this 
"alternative" tango and tango dancing is nothing compared to the real thing. 
Please don't give up on the real tango without giving it a chance. I would 
beg of all you iconoclastic souls to please learn the authentic tango before 
discarding it in favor of some synthetic form of music and dance. Please do 
not cast away the tango that some of us know and love.

Sincerely,

Manuel
