[Tango-L] How tango evolves

- Elegance

The best tango dancers are indeed very elegant.  But I question how much of this is style, 
and how much is simply practical.  I.e. 

It works best if: 

1.  I keep my head up.  That way I don't bump into others. 
2.  I walk with my chest forward and step off a straight leg.  That way the woman really 
    feels my intention.
3.  I step straight ahead, and not wander around.  That way I am not pulling the woman 
    off her axis without intention.
4.  I keep my left hand relatively still and positioned just so.  That way the woman 
    is comfortable, and the information that I convey to her is not confounded with 
    noise coming from a waving/pumping arm.

Etc.  Sounds quite practical, yet as a byproduct, quite elegant.
