Well, i was painting with a bit of a broad brush - there are more themes to the tango than just jealousy, because there are so many sub-genres - but it's a common one. And it's not just the Tango de Roxane, thank goodness, because if I have to hear that abomination too many more times my ears will start to bleed (I may be an Australian, but I am not a
Moulin Rouge fan, Baz Luhrmann can apologise for inflicting it on me any time). One of the most famous tangos in the world is literally called '
Jealousy', after all.
Actually, if it suits the timing requirements of the Tango Romantica, I wouldn't mind at least one team going full-on traditional and skating to the Jealousy Tango. It would be a respite from the overload of Piazzolla that we already know is going to be inflicted on us. The number of singles skaters who seem to have decided that this is a good year to do a tango is ridiculous!
. But, from what I understand, he basically just helps with movements/choreo elements, but technical elements and maybe even some transitions are mostly done by the team's regular choreographers/coaches. That's because he does not have that much knowledge about ice dancing, the requirements etc. His input is much larger with single skaters he is choreographing for.
