>Am I the only one that thinks taking an art so beautiful as Tango and making it a competition is perverse? I think competition is exactly what killed ballroom dance.  They took dances that real people did socially and distorted them into some kind of weird stage hoofing.  Now if anybody wants to learn to foxtrot they're taught by a system designed to produce competitors, not dancers.  Competition is fine for ball sports, foot races and chess.  It is absolutely wrong for art and social dance. Keep competition out of Tango!!!Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com
