Feelings are great but they only get you so far. I am not a mathematician, but
surely tango is capable of mathematical modelling. For instance:
(1/style(posture + embrace))*{1,2,3...n steps}^musicality(melody + rhythm)/
[collisions U boleo disasters] = tango success index
Once we have tango down as a mathematical expression we can write a computer
program to generate optimal tango moves for us. The next logical step is to
turn it into an online role playing game and then commercialise it. I look
forward to the first virtual Milonga.
Alternatively if you are a lawyer you can come up with a restatement of tango
law. This would require an extensive set of definitions including for the roles
of leader and follower and setting out clearly the rights and obligations of
each party in various situations such as when the follower is crossed PROVIDED
THAT due regard has been given for sui generis steps created 'on the fly'.
Remedies for breach of obligations could range from simple apologies to
custodial sentence requiring the offender to be summarily removed from the
dance floor. Naturally there would be many grey areas and disputes as to
interpretation and I would be happy to act as a chair for international tango
arbitrations.
Because as a leader if you just make your goal to give your follower a nicely
executed simple dance which they enjoy and ditch everything else where is that
going to take us... oh wait damn - that is my idea of good dancing ;-)

weary of language that treats the subject like a math equation. >
