[Tango-L] Tango Pedantics

[Vince Bagusauskas]

So Ron, when you aspire to do Argentine Tango you mean Tango de Salon as it
applies now in BA or as it was 60 years ago?

Likewise, there is Argentine tango that is danced in Argentina. It
***resembles_closely_an_ancestral_form*** danced 60 years ago in Buenos
Aires. Argentines differentiate Tango de Salon, that which is danced
is danced socially in the milongas of Buenos Aires, and Tango
Fantasia, which is danced for exhibition, i.e., not as a social dance.
