As to where dancing ends and culture begins, now thats a whole post in itself.

Nice post! I do think that translocating the whole set of codigos from Buenos Aires overnight may not be a good call. However, I believe that teaching tango should extend further than teaching the movements, dynamics and exquisite aspects of the dance. The etiquette is as important as these aspects and should be an INTEGRAL part of the tango teaching. You say that in Rome be a Roman but I also say that Rome wasn't build in a day. It takes time and effort to educate a community. Hi limericktango!
