At first restricted to drug and alcohol misuse, the concept of addiction has been subsequently extended to “pathological” behaviors such as exercise addiction (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">Allegre, Souville, Therme & Griffiths, 2006</xref>), compulsive buying, sexual hyperactivity (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">Duarte Garcia & Thibaut, 2010</xref>), computer/video playing and gambling, this list being still open for debate (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">Holden, 2010</xref>).</p><p>Tango is a popular dance for two, which originated in Rio de la Plata, Argentina, in the mid-19th century. Although several styles exist, tango is mostly danced in either open or close embrace, with long elegant steps and complex figures often with sensual connotation. Dancers, men and women, wearing specific clothes and shoes, are perfumed and very elegant.</p><p>The first author of this article (RT) is a physician specialized in addiction and an experienced tango dancer. At the end of a 10-day tango festival, he noticed a dancer presented by the tango teacher as the only dancer who attended the milonga (place for tango dancing) every night from the opening to the end of the session. RT developed a friendly relationship with this dancer and throughout their discussions RT suspected this dancer could be “addicted” to tango. Therefore, RT proposed to the dancer to conduct a complete interview, aiming to verify this hypothesis: He was a white collar in an insurance firm and has a very good income; he suddenly stopped working at 52 years of age in order to practice more and more tango as he wanted; then he moved to Argentina for 2 years to improve and intensify his practice; in Buenos Aires he danced every day from 11 PM to 4 AM and moreover spent 2 hours at least for preparation; he has never considered to reduce or stop dancing and, conversely, he started liking dancing more and more because he was feeling growing pleasure. He claimed that this practice presented no drawback, and on the contrary, there have been advantages such as well-being and self-confidence. Finally, the only time he did not dance was during a holiday week, he developed symptoms looking like those observed during withdrawal such as sadness, feeling uncomfortable and leg prickling. RT concluded that the relationship of this dancer with tango could correspond to an addiction which substantially differed from exercise dependence on sports such as running (<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">Sachs & Pargman, 1979</xref>; <xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">Thornton & Scott, 1995</xref>) or body-building (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">Smith & Hale, 2005</xref>), since tango dancing requires usually smooth physical effort, it is always performed in an arousing senses environment, while embracing consecutively different partners. This unpublished observation became the supporting argument of the thesis that RT defended for his addiction certification in 2009.</p><p>Tango dancing has been reported to be an alternative therapy for balance, turning and moving improvement, particularly in patients with Parkinson's disease (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Duncan & Earhart, 2012</xref>; <xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">Hackney & Earhart, 2009</xref>) and an efficient adjunct for the treatment of depression (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Pinniger, Brown, Thorsteinsson & McKinley, 2012</xref>) but no study describing a possible addiction to tango has been published as stated by an extensive research in PubMed, Web of Science, using the keywords “tango, Argentine tango, addiction, dependence”.</p><p>Taking into account the case observed, the question was to assess whether tango dancing could lead to addictive behavior or was the dancer a highly specific and unique example. We therefore conducted a survey in the community of tango dancers in France.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods" id="S2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="S2.1"><title>Participants</title><p>The targeted sample was made up of all the subscribers to the journal “ToutTango”, an electronic and printed monthly newspaper devoted to tango dancing. At time of the study, about 15,000 persons were registered in the database of the journal. In the November 2011 issue, an advertisement was posted in the journal explaining that a survey aiming to evaluate whether tango dancing could be an addictive behavior was to be conducted the following month; this advertisement also explained the reason for such a study and its modalities; it requested all tango dancers to participate in the survey, even those only practicing occasionally or novices. The survey was entitled “Are you tango addicted?”</p></sec><sec id="S2.2"><title>Measures</title><p>Several screening questionnaires of addictive behaviors did exist, however, all are specific of a given behavior such as exercise (Exercise Dependence Scale [<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">Downs, Hausenblas & Nigg, 2004</xref>]; Exercise Addiction Inventory [<xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">Terry, Szabo & Griffiths, 2004</xref>]), gambling (South Oaks Gambling Screen [<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">Lesieur & Blume, 1987</xref>]); DSM IV-TR diagnostic criteria of pathological gambling (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">Stinchfield, Govoni & Frisch, 2005</xref>), body building (Bodybuilding Dependency Scale [<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">Smith, Hale & Collins, 1998</xref>]), Internet (Internet Addiction Test [<xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">Young, 1998</xref>]; Compulsive Internet Use Scale [<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">Meerkerk, Van Den Eijnden, Vermulst & Garretsen, 2009</xref>]) and so on, but none of them specifically fits with dancing. Moreover, as it was presumed that tango addiction did not fit well with exercise dependence, the corresponding diagnostic questionnaires did not appear to be appropriate for this study. As all these tools are derived from DSM-IV (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">American Psychiatric Association, 2000</xref>) criteria for substance dependence (tolerance, withdrawal, relapse, conflicts, etc.) we built a questionnaire based upon DSM-IV by re-writing each criterion to adapt them to tango, but without modifying their actual meaning; to complete our evaluation toolbox, we also adapted the Goodman's diagnostic criteria for addictive disorders (<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">Goodman, 1990</xref>) (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>) and, secondly, we added a Likert scale from 0 to 5 for self-evaluation of the degree of addiction to tango. All items from DSM-IV and Goodman could be included except that corresponding to the “repeated efforts to reduce or stop” (E3 from Goodman's criteria and item 4 from DSM-IV) since this was not a concern for tango dancers, as stated by both the dancer's interview and RT experience. To fit with the future DSM-V definition of substance use disorders, we added a question regarding craving for tango (Q22). On the basis of the information recorded from the dancer's interview, we added some specific and hedonic questions related to the positive (physical or psychological) effects (Q6, Q8, Q17, Q24) and some items related to the negative (physical or psychological) effects (Q5, Q21, Q23, Q25) experienced. Answers were given on a Likert scale ranging from 0 (fully disagree or never, depending on the question) to 5 (completely agree or always, depending on the question).</p><table-wrap id="T1" orientation="portrait" position="float"><label>Table 1.</label><caption><p>Tango dancing questionnaire according to DSM-IV and Goodman's criteria</p></caption><table frame="border" rules="groups"><thead align="center"><tr valign="middle"><td rowspan="1" colspan="1">Correspondenc to Goodman<sup>1</sup> criteria</td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1">DSM-IV<sup>2</sup></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1">Effects</td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1">Questions</td></tr></thead><tbody align="left"><tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="1">A</td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"></td><td rowspan="1" colspan="1">Q1.

However, in some cases the behavior is repeated while personal or environmental conditions are not adequate, thus leading to negative effects. Incapacity to refrain from such behaviors is a specific trait of dependence, leading to the concept of behavior addiction (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">Grant, Potenza, Weinstein & Gorelick, 2010</xref>) in parallel to substance addiction.</p><p>Issues relative to behavioral addictions are currently being debated in the context of the development of the fifth edition of the DSM. Currently, only one behavioral addiction, pathological gambling, is a recognized diagnosis in DSM-IV and ICD-10, with criteria conceptually similar to those for substance abuse/dependence. In our study, we have adapted the criteria of DSM-IV and Goodman to Argentine tango and our analytical procedure followed the method currently in use.</p><p>According to our results, tango dancing satisfies several criteria of addiction: feelings of tension or arousal and craving state before dancing, pleasure or relief when dancing, tolerance characterized by a need to increase time spent dancing, and finally physical withdrawal symptoms following abstinence. Altogether this suggests that dependence on tango could exist.</p><p>Dependence on tango led to negative effects; however, their scores remained rather low even if they were doubled in dependent dancers. On the other hand, dependence on tango was characterized by positive and specific effects; scores which were already high in non-dependent dancers increased further with the development of dependence. Moreover, positive effects were always twice as high as negative effects both in dependent and non-dependent dancers.</p><p>Non-dependent and dependent dancers had similar and very low self-rated scores for addiction to alcohol, cannabis and other behavioral addictions; only the addiction score to tobacco was slightly, but significantly, higher in dependent dancers. These results, which are consistent with observational study (RT, personal communication), might suggest that tango dancers are not specifically at risk of any addiction but this needs to be confirmed by studies based on validated diagnostic tools. In other behavioral addictions, the prevalence of co-dependence seems to vary according to the behavior: high prevalence of anorexia in professional ballet dancers (<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">Pierce, Daleng & Mcgowan, 1993</xref>), frequent substance use disorders in pathological gamblers or compulsive sexual addicts (<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">Grant, 2008</xref>), lower rate of smokers in exercise dependent subjects (<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">Lejoyeux, Avril, Richoux, Embouazza & Nivoli, 2008</xref>).</p><p>Tango dancing is known to have a therapeutic effect. Indeed tango was shown to improve activity in patients with Parkinson's disease (<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">Foster, Golden, Duncan & Earhart, 2013</xref>). In elderly seniors at risk of falling, tango seemed to result in greater improvement in balance skills and walking speed than did walking (<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">McKinley et al., 2008</xref>), and can be useful as rehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke (<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">Hackney, Hall, Echt & Wolf, 2012</xref>). These results are confirmed by our survey which showed that almost all responders claimed that tango dancing led to positive physical effects which are maintained throughout their practice.</p><p>The self-rated score was closely correlated to that of the two other tools but, conversely to a recent study targeted on Internet addiction but using a similar design than the present one (<xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">Widyanto, Griffiths & Brunsden, 2011</xref>), the three tools used to diagnosis dependence gave very different results with prevalence ranging for 6.9% (Goodman) to 45.1% (DSM-IV); the self-rating tool resulted in a prevalence(35.9%) that was closer to that obtained with DSM-IV than with Goodman's criteria. The difference in prevalence may come from an inadequate conceptualization of the phenomenon to identify or from differences in the screening tools used (<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">Hausenblas & Symons Downs, 2002</xref>). Indeed, in DSM-IV the existence of dependence being suspected as soon as 3 criteria (out of 7), whatever they are, are positive. In Goodman's questionnaire, as compared to DSM-IV, more stringent conditions are requested for suspecting an addiction: the number of positive criteria is higher (at least 9 out of 12) and 4 specific criteria (A, B, C, D) should mandatorily be positive. Such a heterogeneity can explained at least in part the discrepancies in our prevalence results as it has already been found in exercise addiction (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Berczik et al., 2012</xref>). The detailed analysis of our DSM-IV score results showed that about one-third of those identified as dependent met 3 criteria only. Increasing the DSM-IV cut-off for dependence to 4 criteria would substantially reduce prevalence in our sample; to achieve the prevalence rate obtained through Goodman's criteria with DSM-IV we would need to raise the cut-off to at least 6 criteria (see <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">Table 2</xref>). Hence, the number of criteria could constitute the severity specifiers of tango addiction, from moderate to severe, as proposed in the future DSM-V. It should be noted that all subjects meeting Goodman's dependence criteria were also dependent according to the DSM-IV whilst the opposite was not true. Most dancers self-rating themselves as dependent also met Goodman's criteria. Altogether, only 64 dancers (5.6%) were dependent according to all three screening methods; they could well represent the hard core of dependent dancers.</p><p>About 10% of the potential responders participated in the survey and we had no means to evaluate whether our sample was representative of the tango dancing community. Only a few details are available on this topic; in a recent survey, <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">Kreutz (2008)</xref> described tango dancers as “highly educated individuals strongly involved in tango dance as a primary leisure activity” but his sample was non-randomized and made up of 110 subjects only. More than 1,100 dancers participated in our survey but one can suspect that those who felt most concerned by the topic participated more than others. However, all dancers were clearly asked to participate, either beginner or experimented, either occasionally or frequently practicing. Such objective seemed to have been reached since, after exclusion of tango teachers (<italic>n</italic> = 95, see results), the answers to questions on time spent in the milonga, frequency of dancing followed a Gaussian distribution while that of years of practice was left-switched towards beginners, however, a selection bias cannot definitely be excluded.</p><p>Altogether, our results strongly suggest that tango dancing might lead to dependence as defined in the current diagnosis manual. Why some dancers become dependent on tango and what is the precise substratum of this dependence, i.e. primary or secondary, remains unknown as yet; however, the low score in self-evaluation of other addictive behavior (eating, sex, money, work) observed in our sample favors a primary addiction and not a secondary one as reported in exercise dependence (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Berczik et al., 2012</xref>). Tango dependence is associated with several strong and sustained positive effects (pleasure, self-esteem, reduced stress, physical health, etc.) while negative effects are weak. This looks like what has been described for exercise addiction (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Berczik et al., 2012</xref>). Indeed, as tango, as well as all dances, includes physical activity, one can wonder whether tango dependence could be a simple variant of exercise addiction. However tango cannot be summed-up to a simple exercise. Indeed this dance includes several environmental specificities such as dressing up, music, social status and perfume, sensuality provided by the close embrace of partners during dancing (abrazo) and the possibility of embracing several different partners according to the usual tenda (succession of 3 or 4 tangos) protocol, all these sensations leading to “tango drunkenness”. Owing to the latter reasons, it seems likely that tango addiction resembles only partly to exercise addiction. Nevertheless further studies are needed in this regard once the concept of behavioral and exercise addiction will be definitely conceptualized (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Berczik et al., 2012</xref>; <xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">Freimuth, Moniz & Kim, 2011</xref>).</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>The authors thank all the tangera and tangero who participated in the survey and the team of the “ToutTango” journal for circulating the questionnaire.
