[Tango-L] Tango to SLOW waltz?

Has anyone else heard a *slow* tango sounding tune with 3 very slow
beats per measure? How did you dance to it?  What are your thoughts?

Vals moved from slow to faster rhythm, over time.  Listen to any of  
the old Canaro valses to hear slow.  Rodolfo Cieri delighed in dancing  
his "canyengue" style valses to these old valses, with lots of foot- 
clicking decoration.  Slow vals gives much more opportunity for  
"double-double" timing (for want of a better expression).  It is much  
more challenging to create an interesting slow vals, but once  
mastered, it can be very beautiful.  You will also notice a number of  
distinctly Viennese valses, such as the beautiful Dolores (Canaro),  
available from ToTango.net.
Enjoy,
John
