Thanks June, I've never seen these videos before. This couple is from Finland, 
which probably explains why they were able to incorporate tango elements in 
their dance before any other ballroom couple - at least, as far as I know. 

And they complement Trini's video of Sebastian and Marianna and her question -
when is tango tango and not something else? Perhaps the answer is - it depends 
on who's dancing. If a well-known tango couple, such as Sebastian and Marianna 
were to dance these routines in the same way, nuevo aficionados would probably 
say it's still Tango, although to me, it's clearly Rumba.
