my experience is that the celebrity tango dancers in Buenos Aires ha started 
in the social environment (the first exhibitions they did in milongas like 
sunderland, maipu ecc.
Their first tecnique was who to dance the social dance (milonguero apilado 
style), only later they started to dance for the stage.
