What's Wrong with our (Los Angeles' ) tango? (interesting article and thoughts)
Tonight, I have just finished an "authentic" tango lesson, and I came home to do a websearch on tango for clothes and music, and I stumbled across this interesting article:
What's Wrong with our tango

atpalmerDon't put too much wieght in Linda's view of tango. Clearly someone who claims expertise on the tango by stating they have been to argentina 9 times is missing the point. There are a lot of good and bad teachers out there. Tango has evolved into many forms with none being the "right" tango or "false" tango.

DancFSorry, i disagree. Yes there is a "right" tango and that is the tango that is danced in Argentina.
