What is the Argentine Tango Community ?

There is no legal definition of the “Community of the Argentine Tango”. An equivalent expression would be “the world of the Argentine tango (in France, US, etc..)”, what is not satisfactory either.
Nevertheless, those who dance Tango feel very accurately that a number of points are common to all places where Tango occurs. This phenomena has been studied by several sociological enquiries, in a much better position to find a meaning for this.

As a very preliminary estimate, no figures are available, the “Community of the Argentine Tango” as it is considered in this website - a set of persons who share the same values as written in the Charter - is around 200-250 organizations and 4000-6000 persons [in France]. This number of organizations comes from an overview of the published websites in France in January 2009, and this number of persons corresponds too a rough rule of thumb by considering the number of dancers per each large city areas.
