not tango. By the very definition a tango is a tango because
of the tango music. The question is can there exist a tango
dance without tango music and the answer is no. And if a
tango
music be called tango.

I disagree. I'm with Trini on the separability of names for the music and
the movement. If you turned the sound off on the video and watched it,
would it look like tango? Well, then, to me, it's tango. Of course, if it
doesn't look like tango to you with the sound off, then don't call it
Drat. I apologize to the list for sending that in HTML formatting.

I can accept the hypothesis that you
can dance any type of step to tango
music and legitimately call it tango, but I can't accept
that dancing the
same steps to any other music, can be called tango.
Are you referring an any individual step or a series of steps? I would tend to
agree
Personally I can't imagine the concept below helping to achieve a meaningful
definition of tango. Could a ballet, say Swann Lake, featuring so called
'tango steps, be a subset of tango. If it can satisfy as a tango subset, so
can any other possible combination of music and steps. Even further,
At the risk covering ancient ground, what is it about a dance that makes it
look like tango?

At least here in Boston most nuevo dancers are more experienced than

Exactly, which is why I used the term old farts, which implies a certain

Nor was nothing wrong with their form or technique. It was well-executed show
tango.

Well the male tango dancer does state his name (Gaspar Godoy) which then
leads us to many of his show tango videos on Youtube.
