This just brings us back to the old arguement that every Tango
dancer on the planet has a different 'style', which means there
can be no discussion on the subject. Yes, everyone dances
differently but there are certainly recognisable different styles
of Tango and everybody here knows what they are. Why argue
otherwise, other than to try to stop the debate?
