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

[Keith]

Huck,

Hate to burst your bubble, but anyone who dances Ballroom, but not AT, 
thinks that Arnold is dancing Argentine Tango in True Lies. I've also read 
that in a few reviews of the movie. As for the music in the movie - it was 
Por Una Cabeza - now does that say AT or BT? 

Oh yeah - it was Tia Carrere that danced with Arnold - not Jamie Lee Curtis.

Keith, HK
