I get so fed up with the elitist BS that comes from this list sometimes I
become nauseated. 
Foreigners can't dance tango frogs can't swim. Total rubbish. 

Some the demi-gods of tango on this list need to look at the origins of the
dance and remember that like swing, and most dances, was a bar dance meant
for making a connection between men and women. Just like all dances. It's
not some classic dance style brought down from the heavens. It is a bar
dance danced for pleasure by the masses in bars. 

The gods also need to remember that each instructor created his own style.
None of them are perfect and they wanted as many people to dance their style
as possible. Not just the people in some far away place. 

Tango is not a religion and BsAs is not Mecca. It is a city with lots of
bars where people dance tango. People from all over the world. Some dance
with grace and some dance like frogs, but they all enjoy themselves. 

Enjoy your tango where ever you are in the world. Your tango is as good as
anyone in Argentina.
