[Tango-L] Teacup tango

[Astrid]

Charles, how do you know these two are tango dancers at all? They stated 
their love of drinking tea, not of dancing Argentine tango, and the 
video is an entry to a video contest advertising the fun of drinking 
tea, apparently, judging from the other videos, and they were just 
asking for feedback for that..
I think, watching two dancing tea pots to ballroom or whatever tango 
music out of the can is not likely to confuse people about how to dance 
tango.
On the other hand, I would at least imagine that even if they are not 
tango dancers, at least a woman, with her mimics, gestures and 
expressiveness would have the stuff to be a great tanguera, and lucky 
the man to have such a hell of a flirtatious wife. ; )
It does not hurt to have a little sense of humour, Charles. I am not 
planning to dance to the music in this video but I can still enjoy it 
for a laugh.
