[Tango-L] Why do I dance tango if I do not like tango music.

[Michael]

I wonder if this topic is related to alternative milogas, where you don't 
hear the "good stuff." Alternative milongas seem to specialize in ballroom 
and Latin music, e.g. Foxtrot, American Tango, Merengue, etc. The key behind 
ballroom and Latin is the cadence never changes. Foxtrot is 
slow-slow-quick-quick (unless you dance a pattern that's slow-quick-quick.) 
Since the cadence doesn't change, you don't have to pay attention as much as 
to Argentine Tango. In Argentine tango, there's no repetitive cadence as in 
foxtrot or in Latin, e.g. cha cha is slow-slow-quick-quick-slow. Sometimes 
you can pause in AT. The music doesn't stop in ballroom for poses. You have 
to find the right time for a pose.
