[Tango-L] Burlesque clip

[Nina Pesochinsky]

Hi, all,

What makes tango tango is many voices in counterpoint, meaning that each 
voice has its own rhythm, but all are linked harmonically.  What also makes 
tango so recognizable is the synchopated phrasing, where even the singer is 
speaking in synchopation.  Other dance forms follow a single rhythm (both 
rumba an d cha-cha) without synchopation, which may be present with the 
instruments, depending on the arrangement, but which is not required to be 
danced.

I hope that this explanation adds to clarification and not to more 
confusion. :)

Warmest regards,

Nina
