It is said that D'Arienzo returned tango to the tango dancers! In so doing, he got the interest of the youth, which not only reinvigorated the entire tango scene, but made it chic as well. At that point, of course, not only did he became a celebrity, but he also started making his fortune. http://www.maggiefergusontango.com/ju...
