I disagree. I'm with Trini on the separability of names for the music and the movement. If you turned the sound off on the video and watched it, would it look like tango? Well, then, to me, it's tango. Of course, if it doesn't look like tango to you with the sound off, then don't call it tango. What does it look like to you, Anton, without the sound?
