DWTS: Did Donny deserve a score of 29 for his Argentine Tango?
He kept in character throughout the dance, but I thought the choreography was very simple. I was a bit shocked at the scores; it was worth about 24 in my opinion.
I agree – I think he did well, but it was a very simple routine and he should not have gotten a 29! I think he is their favorite so they will just continue to give him high scores because they like his personality. I also agree with the post before me – Joanna didn’t deserve a 24 for almost falling. I thought she seemed off during most of the dance, especially after she tripped!

Which dance do you like best for versatility and range of creativity, of the ones listed here?
Would like to learn one of the following, would be nice if I could also learn to dance with a partner, and be free to improvise, but also master some disciplined movements to flow with various rhythms. Usefulness is a consideration.
I will pick the first answer convincing me enough to pursue my first dance form.
Hip Hop,
Argentine Tango,
Latin Dance,
Salsa,
Jazz
Ballet is the most disciplined dance form around because of its grace… But from your list, I’ll pick SALSA. There’s really nothing to match it in terms of sheer exuberance, sensuality and style. Go fot it!

What are the real title & composer of the tango heard in Un Chien Andalou?
The famous surrealist film. It can be seen & heard free and legal here:

Hear the tune only, here:

The Tango is the first music heard in the film. I’m quite certain it’s not called merely "Argentine Tango" – as it is often called in materials relating to the film.
The 2nd piece is a well-known Wagner composition; don’t need that one.
Any tango experts out there?
Hmm, the samples (online at Amazon and iTunes) for Ole Guapa sound very similar, but not quite match. 
"The tango is the famous "Ole Guapa", a traditional tango that has been recorded numerous times by different artists."

Wife (life partner of 20yrs) loving Tango. She was a ballerina since?
she was 5 but did not continue after H/S. We were on a walk near our home and saw a sign offering Argentine Tango lessons. She said she was interested and she got involved (I did not) and It’s now been over a year of turmoil for me. As I expected, she improved tremendously and has advanced on to other teachers and dance studios and has now done some beginner student teaching as well as a demonstration. At the beginning as now I remain uncomfortable about the nature of the dance being intimate (close) with who would otherwise be a stranger (even for myself). I don’t care to see my life partner in another man’s arms and in a position of relative servitude as the dance requires of women! Although I know it is ‘just’ a dance, I would NEVER have thought that my mate would be okay with someone besides me being so close into her personal space since she tends to be quite shy in all other aspects. I want to be more comfortable with it than I am but still challenged and would appreciate thoughtful feedback. I have tried Tango, know the basic steps quite well and she says I "could" be good at it "if I wanted to be". The little Tango that I have done has been all for her in the privacy of our house and I have no inclination to learn this dance on my own since I don’t dance for others to see me as this dance seems to be about. Note that I do dance and rather willingly in social settings but I am not inclined to be TAUGHT step one, step two, etc. and I believe that dancing is a release from the soul and it should just happen! Because of my relationship, I would never ask another woman to dance close up to me out of respect for my mate and the meaning of our ‘private space’. I feel somewhat betrayed by her continuing on with this in part because I receive and have always received come-ons often by women that are attracted to me but I judge my relationship (and private space) to be available only to my mate. Before through and after college, asking a woman to dance with me was always based on attraction and sexual desire for them so dance for me has always has had a ‘prelude for deeper intimacy’ tone to it. Dancing with my lady STILL has the same flirty tone! Help Me See Another SIde of this Tango thing. Right now it’s my arch nemesis!!!
I don’t think that your wife thinks of dancing as being a prelude to or a suggestion of sexual intimacy. She seems to just want to express her creative side using dance as her preferential medium.
She is not dancing in order to release any sexual tension by being close to another man. It’s a creative outlet, rather than a sexual one.
However, I can see where her actions could cause you some level of distress. You perceive a sexual overtone to those dance moves and don’t want your wife to engage in that type of intimacy with another man.
A compromise needs to be negotiated between the two of you. Either she needs to find another outlet for her creative needs or you need to become more accepting of those specific needs by dancing with her and possibly becoming her dance partner during those activities.
Or, some other middle ground can be negotiated and agreed upon.

Girls : Tango? or Salsa?
If I wanted to learn latin dance to meet women and seduce them?
Which dance should I choose?
I favor Argentine Tango
Are there any classes in Worcestershire UK?
go for both. chose a school where you can learn the basics and then decide which one is more of your style. salsa is hot, tango is passioned and addictive. once you taste the flavour of both you can decide.
btw, just short note, dancing is one part of being cavalier. watch Antonio Banderas in this movie called Take the lead have an example.
in sources: ballroom classes in Worcestershire and youtube tango inspirational videos with Banderas and Pacino

Is it possible to learn dancing entirely online?
I am interested in Argentine Tango and wonder if it is possible to learn dancing online? Do feel free to provide your comments. Thanks! =)
Yes! it is possible.

lesson 1/20 and there are more
It is said that if you can walk you can tango. However, it all depends on your learning style – if you are dedicated and passionate to learn this beautiful dance and have partner/s to practice with, then the see-do-from-the-screen is doable. Of course, it is very unlikely to become a top dancer just by watching youtube, but couple of few routines to impress your friends is realistic 
check out the tango scene with Al Pacino at Scent of a woman. Pretty inspiring.

My sincere advice: watch some videos, get inspired and go take some classes. The fun is in meeting new people and having a good time.

Laura Lagazcue"(One of )The world top dancers " by Argentine Tango Dance Association in Japan

"
Legazcue’s stage performances combine her deep knowledge of traditional tango as well as classical ballet and contemporary dance.
As an instructor, she has developed a teaching methodology based on the importance of learning the fundamental concepts of tango — posture, weight-shifting, embrace dissociation, pivots and couple connection.
She wants to ensure that dancers do not become mere imitators, but achieve a deep understanding of dance techniques, and develop their own styles."Dennis Chua New Straits Tnes
