Maybe the ones who don't dance tango, instead dance salsa. Even nuevo dancers in or from Buenos Aires dance mostly to traditional (30s-50s) tango music. > -whether reinterpretation of the classics > -nuevo Danced mainly in Villa Malcolm, Practica X. > Women wanting to lead > Gay tango Yes, in gay milongas (La Marshal the only one to persist). Same sex partners or sex reversed partners are almost non-existent in Buenos Aires outside gay milongas. Most of these changes in tango are occurring outside Argentina, where dancers modify tango to their own cultural norms. At some point of change, it is no longer Argentine tango.
