One thing we think is interesting about tango is that there are multiple completely valid ways of leading and following something. What we teach is some combination of what we prefer and what's most common. At the same time, some people lead the beginning of some kick (gancho, boleo, etc) with a throw, some lead it with a snap, some lead it like a gentle breeze to extend the leg. And the kick of the gancho: some lead it with a stop or a counter of the body. And there may be other perfectly valid leads.

From website: In Tango Noir's second all original album, "Darling ... Keep it to Yourself", Ruth uses the rhythms of the cabaret, the Tango, the Habanera, the Waltz, Ruth successfully infuses the album with an atmosphere of 1930s Berlin to create music which is new and nostalgic at the same time. It is a very listenable and beautiful album.
