This style is used in competitive ballroom competitions. The social tango style, sometimes called American, doesn't have any head snaps. In the competitive style, the couples aren't allowed to separate but they can in American.
I'm guessing the snap is used to impress judges. I don't dance International style because I don't want to give myself whiplash. Michael Ditkoff Washington, DC Where it feels like Spring today. Tomorrow is a different story I'd rather be dancing Argentine Tango _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
