Feelings are great but they only get you so far. I am not a mathematician, but surely tango is capable of mathematical modelling. For instance:

(1/style(posture + embrace))*{1,2,3...n steps}^musicality(melody + rhythm)/ [collisions U boleo disasters] = tango success index

Once we have tango down as a mathematical expression we can write a computer program to generate optimal tango moves for us. The next logical step is to turn it into an online role playing game and then commercialise it. I look forward to the first virtual Milonga.

Alternatively if you are a lawyer you can come up with a restatement of tango law. This would require an extensive set of definitions including for the roles of leader and follower and setting out clearly the rights and obligations of each party in various situations such as when the follower is crossed PROVIDED THAT due regard has been given for sui generis steps created 'on the fly'. Remedies for breach of obligations could range from simple apologies to custodial sentence requiring the offender to be summarily removed from the dance floor. Naturally there would be many grey areas and disputes as to interpretation and I would be happy to act as a chair for international tango arbitrations.

Because as a leader if you just make your goal to give your follower a nicely executed simple dance which they enjoy and ditch everything else where is that going to take us... oh wait damn - that is my idea of good dancing ;-)
