[Tango-L] There is only tango...

[Keith]

Ron,

I've only danced Tango in Buenos Aires and Hong Kong but we have had 
many foreign visitors to our milongas here and generally, they've been 
very good social dancers and have always been very welcome. So, up until 
a month or so ago I'd have thought, OMG, but wouldn't really have understood 
what you're talking about. But now we have our very own Tango instructor 
from the USA who is exactly as you describe. He's only one person so it's not 
too much trouble and I can still only imagine the nightmare of many dancers 
like him in our milongas. I'd simply stop going.
