I know a great majority of female Tango dancers would love to be able to do
that move.  It is beautiful and very depictive of the Tango Shows we get in the
US and in Europe/Asia.  Fortunately or unfortunately that is the export
Tango, and a lot of us fell in love with when Tango Argentino came to the US. Back
then social Tango was hardly known in the US.  Many other shows followed and
still the moves and endings of routines were very dramatic and similar.

In my book that is called show biz.  Sorry but a lot of people don't want to
pay $40 to $75 dollars (depending on seating at a theater) to see social
dancing at a Milonga.  They want action.

My two cents worth.
