[Tango-L] Why are you dancing tango if you don't like tango?

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

First, there isn't that many musicans around that play tango music, so it doesn't remain a very viable options for many communities.

Second, a lot of tango bands just plain can't play danceable tango music.  They play Piazzola.  They like to show off their musicianship at the expense of the dancers, like holding a note for a ridiculously long period of time. 

It is nice, though, to have an accompaniest during a music workshop or class.
