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

Correction:

Both women danced with Arnold in True Lies.
Tia Carrere acted more sexy.
But Jamie Lee Curtis got dragged across the floor.

What is to say NO about either woman and their expression.
Baby, do that again.

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
