This is an interesting subject that I've often thought about.
I can only speak for my own community, and certainly not Argentina where
I have a different impression, but I definitely agree with your statement.
I know many IT nerds who are tango addicts as well as quite a few medical
doctors, including psychologists and psychiatrists. I'm also amazed at the
number of PhDs and university professors. Tango here is full of well-educated
people, career-oriented and often in high-level, well-paid, stressful occupations.
I'm also involved in the Ballroom community and it definitely isn't the same.
I have no explanation. Btw, I'm a retired Civil Engineer.
