[Tango-L] Why Argentine tango looks more like French ballet each year.

[Secondary Yahoo]

The problem IMHO is deeper... A group of argentine dancers teaching in the US are following a very specific agenda that has nothing to do with tango and eerything to do with making money and a retirement plan before they can no longer charge exhorbitant fees for their teaching.

I have come to accept that Argentine Tango will cease to exist and
what had been before will change and change until it is hardly recognizable..
I have also come to accept that the European culture will drag everything back
to it's own cultural roots and make it all one big ballet on stage... why? 
Who knows, but I think that the ballet is generaly accepted as the most fine of
the fine arts for expressing the male/female dynamic ...certainly the most beautiful
ballets do this to an ultimate degree..and then there is 'modern dance' ..and the 
perveyors of this who would bring this brave new world to the Argentine... thank you
Homer and your reversed baseball cap....here too, the European culture....yes, the
same one that almost eradicated themselves...moves to the new world... ugh
