Jay,
I guess my answer would be ... "well, it LOOKS like a Tango...." But I think
I'd reserve
judgement until I heard the music. And isn't the same true of most other
dances? Is a
Waltz really a Waltz if the music is not Waltz? I don't think so. In Ballroom
dancing
they have a catch-all name for any dance that doesn't fit any of the standard
dances.
They just call it a 'rhythm dancing'.
