NYTango-- I think you are misreading my post... but then again, maybe we will just have to agree to disagree. First of all, my above post was to complement the report itself, not taking sides with how good/bad or how authentic (or not) the show itself is.

Your position on Tango is very clear to me... as while I respect your views on what real Tango is, I think that you are a 200% purist when it comes to Tango... and, therefore, your expectations and demands with what a Tango show needs to offer is very very unique. Without getting too deep into the discussion of what "real" Tango is, I think you are missing the rather important point that 99% of visitors to EZE are not looking for your vision of "pure" Tango. This is neither good nor bad... its just the way it is... most visitors would be put off with a 200% traditional milonga show, it would be too austere, have music that comes across as "not exciting enough" etc. etc.

Trust me... I can understand your taste in Tango but I have enough experience with this topic and know people in this business that have refined a product that works with most visitors. As to the real vs. un-real or fake Tango discussion... I would urge you to tell some of the dancers in these "modern" shows that what they dance is not Tango... just make sure you are braced for their reply.

One issue where you and I do agree is that prices for these shows are overpriced. Sure, most of them do offer services like transportation, dinner/wine, etc. - but despite all this I do agree with you that prices are way too "touristy".

Cheers,
Alex

PS: Ive edited my post so that its more clear what I meant to describe as excellent.
