The absolute best tango show I have ever seen consisted of nothing but 
Traditional tango music. Leandro and Andrea performed Tango Danza in Cleveland 
several years ago and the vision of the performance still is clear in my mind.
Laura Salsbury is a reporter for the Cleveland Plan Dealer new paper. She is 
extremely educated in dance, and reports what she sees and feels. She tries to 
be positive in all her reports but there is always something she catches in 
the show, and she says it like it is. Her report of Tango Danza was the highest 
praise I've ever read, of any show, and it deserved it. She reported how she 
like the costumes and how the 3 couple used all of the stage area, and that 
each dance told a very clear story. How the entire theater was totally 
entertained for two hours. 
I also want to talk about Tango X2 how they used every style of tango in the 
show, even social tango.
To entertain an entire theater with just Traditional social tango dances is I 
feel a lot harder to pull off, but for me more enjoyable.
