@abruima They don't specify what type of tango it is because it's a TV show. In the US that's what comes to mind when one says 'tango'. They do specify Argentine tango on the show, and you can go look that up. And before you try and say anything about the US, they do this in many countries. This is also done to the waltz, which originated in Vienna, but that style is called Viennese waltz to distinguish itself from what Viennese people would call English waltz.
@AkihiroHattori52455 it's not only the fact that I'm from Argentina, and yes, this cradle of tango. I know what it is, I know how is the dance. At least, if it's another kind of tango, they might specificate which type is. Anyway, you're wasting your time here..
@AkihiroHattori52455 Actually, this IS NOT tango. Just i question: Do you know what is tango? Yes, there is differences types of tango (just like Rock, for example) But that doesnt mean that Bossa Nova is A TYPE of Rock, right? And, for other examples, Milonga, IS NOT tango, its another rhythm, like Blues and Jazz. Related, but not the same. So. If the rhythm is Swing, and i dance a Waltz, then i am an ignorant and the score should be 0. But, lets face it, an usual ignorance from EEUU.
@AkihiroHattori52455 I dont say you are an ignorant. And i dont call Americans ignorant. Im an American too, so that will be crazy. I said that is usual this time of error in EEUU, and its well know arround the world. But thats for another time. For now, just tell me, what give the name to a rhythm? How can we tell what its Waltz, or Blues, or Rock? Second, its not MY TANGO its TANGO. If i kick a rock with my feet to put it in a hole, i cant say "its you YOUR baseball but its baseball"
@AkihiroHattori52455 that's what comes to mind when one says 'tango'. but it is not. Inform urself before talking about such specifing things that u dont know about
@AkihiroHattori52455 This is the same. I can make variations, but always have to keep THAT that make a rhythm be that rhythm. You wanna here variations of Tango? Here Piazzola, por example. Please, dont call me names and talk to me with the same respect i talk to you. What you say is "widely accepted" its call "Valentino´s Tango" and is widely know as NOT a tango. Please, copy and search in youtube for this: Mario Marzan - Estilos de tango. It has subs. You will understand better what im saying.
@abruima Wow, news flash. Just because we dance tango differently than from where you come from doesn't mean it's not tango, and how do we even know you know anything about dance? Just because you happen to be from Argentina doesn't mean you know anything about tango, so stop pointing out that it's not. You're just wasting your time because NO ONE CARES. By the way, this is a TV show where pros teach celebs how to dance, so this isn't even an accurate portrayal of ballroom tango.
They are wonderful dancers. But i'm afraid this is NOT tango. They completely ignore the genuine tango technique and this is sth like a North-American tango which is finally closer to a waltz. Very interesting dancers but the music and the steps had nothing to do with tango!
i stopped watching this show because of the HORRIBLE music that does NOT match the dancing. Ugh...not only it doesn't match, it's sung by these unknown artists that butcher it up.
