[TANGO-L] Ballroom and Argentine tango

[Sergio <Cachafaz @ADELPHIA.NET>]

Tango guy says:

"Actually, Ballroom Tango has had a longer history then the modern Argentine
Tango. Argentine Tango as we know it today did not even exist when modern
Ballroom Tango began in the 1910's. (At that time, it wasn't called Ballroom
Tango but just Tango) In the teens, Argentine Tango was the Canyengue which
is very different then what we dance today. "

I am curious to know if anybody agrees with this.
