I took ballet when I was little but have never had the chance to dance in the past few years, because I thought you didn't enjoy it.

Anyway, the tango they teach today didnt come about until the late 1930s, so it's probably very different to the original style.
不管怎么样，他们现在教的探戈是20世纪30年代末才出现的，所以很可能跟原始风格大不一样。
the modern style is usually danced with flowers and a kind of musical instrument, those things you hold in one hand, they make a clicking soud.
现代风格通常是跳舞时拿着一些花，一只手拿着一种会发出咔嗒声的乐器。你是说响板吧。听起来很有意思。
