    So is the sport of this that you want to avoid the other dancers and make it look pretty while you wait for the traffic jam to clear?

      Actually yes, it's one of the challenges of it, because there is so much travelling motion in this style of tango. And the reason why good lead and follow are very important even though you prepare a routine for competitions. Every now and then you have to improvise steps to void waiting for the planned path to clear.

      If we're thinking of the same thing, they're a series of continuous pivots. If you look up a video from Dance Vision called "American Smooth DVIDA Gold Waltz Syllabus", the technique of how to do them is explained pretty succinctly. It's a video about waltz but the action can be applied anywhere.

    This looks like a comic parody version of real tango. A Jim Carrey interpretation of the original sort of.

    Help me love ballroom tango. I love Argentine tango, but I'm supposed to teach ballroom tango.
    I do enjoy the speed with which the first couple moved across the floor. That looked like it would be fun to dance.
    Everything else, I don't get it. Why do the followers' heads snap left and right?
    Everything about they're movement looks robotic / like dolls. I'm not trying to badmouth ballroom tango. I'm trying to understand it.
    Can anyone help me see what I'm not seeing? (Perhaps point to specific moments.)
    Why do some people love ballroom tango?
    Is it accurate to say ballroom tango is primarily danced for viewers, not for the enjoyment of dancers?
    Are there any nightclubs where someone can dance ballroom tango? I know there are studios where people practice ballroom tango, but is there anywhere where dancing ballroom tango can feel like dancing [organically] / at a nightclub?
    Do you know any other videos which you think better reveal why some people love ballroom tango?
    Is American tango as artificial as International tango?

      Well, you'd have to define which type you mean.
      Some styles are Argentine Tango are rather slow and a bit pedestrian looking. If you mean the stage-style Tango with big lifts and legs flying everywhere...I agree it's exciting but it's not really the essence of Argentine Tango.
      I love ballroom Tango, but it's hard to really be drawn into the atmosphere when you watch all the couples competing at once. Try watching a demonstration or showcase with just one couple on the floor and you'll see how exciting it can feel.
