[Tango-L] Tango's Cutural Heritage

[rhink2@netscape.net]

Hola All,

I realize I'm weighing in late, but I am a bit confused.  There seems 
to be an underlying (or maybe overarching) assumption that one cannot 
dance tango, even traditional tango, without knowing its history.  To 
me that is like saying one cannot play baseball if one does not know 
who Alexander Cartwright is.  What's yet more tenuous is the assumption 
that one cannot play baseball well if one does not know about Alexander 
Cartwright.

Clearly dancing tango and knowing about its heritage are two different 
and independent things.
