For an upcoming tango performance, we want a one-sentence introduction.
Here is what someone came up with: "From the bordellos of Argentina, the
sensual, passionate dance - tango!"

My concern was that the producers might veto it for "family friendly"
reasons (they're quite conservative). But it also got me to thinking
about how accurate this is. Is this just a titillating story, designed
to market tango better? We know tango was a dance of the lower classes,
but does that mean it really originated in houses of ill repute?
