Tango is about feeling and sensitivity, otherwise you are just doing gymnastics. You can do all the steps but it has to have the feeling and sensitivity of authentic tango.
Interpretation
Authentic tango goes beyond mere steps; it embodies emotion and sensitivity.

The process is the most beautiful part.
Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea.
