[Tango-L] Type-A Tango

On day 20 this girl was dancing a  very proper salon tango not show tango 
and she was doing it very well. It makes  me think that you may not know the 
difference between close embrace and salon  tango and the fact that both 
styles are appropriate in BsAs depending on which  milonga you choose to dance 
at.

On 'Day 20' she includes a video of one of  her lessons. If she travelled 
all the way to BsAs to learn this kind of  show-tango, she probably wasted 
her time. She could get the same thing from  any travelling 
performer/teacher 
or tango festival closer to home.  

Is this how she expects to dance in a milonga? 

Or maybe she'll  go home and become yet another tango teacher with
'Learned Tango in BsAs' on  her resume and then teach a tango that no
one in BsAs actually dances - at  least, in the milongas.
