It was said thus in relation to Chicago Tango Week: "The obsessive attention paid to movement possibilities in tango workshops around the world is not improving tango dancing. Milonga dance floors have become increasingly chaotic. Instead of wasting their money supporting instructors and festival organizers who are misrepresenting tango, tangueros should travel to Buenos Aires regularly and observe how the masters of tango social dancing, the milongueros, dance tango in the cultural environment where tango social dancing has evolved and still thrives today."

If so, I do not have a problem with the descriptions, as I would expect to have lots of people coming to the festival labelling themselves higher than their true abilities whatever their preference is, and thus expect many crap dancers going. Would that stop me? Probably not, but if it I was expecting to dance the way they dance in BsAs and travel there often, maybe it would.
