Hi Alex,

I like the name XTango, and it's a term that is being used by some tango groups.  Homer Ladas leads X-sessions, but his X stands for Exploration.  XTango could mean Exploratory Tango.  That would certainly be suitable and positive.  Thanks for doing the graphic, but I think it comes across as too negative (i.e. Not Tango).
