It seems to me that any types of ballroom dance are completely
different from what they label, and that's probably why we don't
discuss ballroom tango.  I've danced samba, salsa and tango.
Ballroom Samba has nothing to do with samba danced in
Brazil, Ballroom Salsa has nothing to do with Salsa danced
in the night clubs, and Ballroom tango doesn't look to have any
relationship to Argentine Tango.
