The "silly head snap" is part of International style tango.
This style is used in competitive ballroom competitions. The
social tango style, sometimes called American, doesn't have
any head snaps. In the competitive style, the couples aren't
allowed to separate but they can in American.

I'm guessing the snap is used to impress judges. I don't
dance International style because I don't want to give
myself whiplash.
