The reverse is also true. Sometimes you and can have great choreography and
music but if the dancers are mediocre or not very good it does not matter how
good the choreography is.

Likewise being from Argentina or Buenos Aires or being a family member of an
accomplished dancer is no guarantee of good dancing. Often young Argentines
invent a tango history or tradition within their family when the reality is they
weren't interested in it until they realized how popular it has become. Many
have only learned during the last few years like everyone else.
