He introduced tango to the United States in 1911. In a letter to the New York Times he claimed that he introduced it at the Winter Garden Theatre, dancing with Dorothy Jardon, in the show called Review of 1911.[1] He was the son of George Washington Smith (1820-1899), America's first male ballet star.
