[Tango-L] What Argentine Tango is, and what it is not

[Keith]

Floyd,

Has it ocurred to you that the person asking might actually dance American 
or Ballroom Tango and might actually love it. And you've just insulted THEIR 
dance. It's precisely this type of elitist attitude that causes many dancers 
from other genres to dislike Argentine Tango and/or AT dancers. Surely, we 
can extol the many virtues of Tango without denigrating other dances and
other dancers.
