As an unrepentent traditionalist, I have only a small bone to pick with Nina. I don't think that a trip to Argentina makes or breaks the ability and/or desire to dance real tango. I know several couples who dance traditional tango beautifully who have never been to BsAs. (Students of ours who have been thoroly brainwashed :-) (Well, I've always wanted to be called arrogant!) It takes more than tourism to make the distinction -- or the choice. Abrazos, Barbara
