Michael, Thanks for the reports - very accurate from my experiences and very useful for first-time visitors to BsAs.
But I don't agree with your term 'original style' because, as Trini has already pointed out, we don't really know what that is and it would result in a lot of disagreements. To me 'authentic Argentine Tango' is what predominates in the traditional milongas of modern-day Buenos Aires and you've already described that very well. You say you don't dance that style in the States so I'd be interested to know why you consider it to be 'authentic'. I now use the term 'Buenos Aires Style' to describe what I consider to be 'authentic Argentine Tango. I don't really see how anyone could disagree with that but I'm sure many will find a way :-).
