el viejo un maestro del tango un mito, prendalen una vela todos los q estan comiendo gracias a él....

The FIRST time I saw this video I was starting out in Argentine Tango a while ago, after having done American Tango. I saw this video I thought there was nothing impressive about it. I was immediately attracted to Chicho, Sebastian Arce and other flashy dancers. A couple of years later, having learned a billion moves to do and while I still worship Chicho and Arce, I find myself coming back to this video and seeing it in a new way. It's about "connection".

Paiva's dancing TRUE passionate tango.

Everybody has it's own style...but i think there are some styles that have to continue...Orlando you are a great dancer, thank for continuing with your Father's style.

[kekpao]

claaaaro! esto sí está bueno!!! otra cosa...

[canayaRo]

Tiene calidad che! y una postura muy rara en el tango, como si se fuera adelante con la cadera. El padre bailaba asi? Paiva es un mito en Rosario :)

Wow, people keep asking me if I am related to these guys, I have the same last name. But all my family are from San Diego, not Santa Monica.There are not a lot of Paiva's around. Good thing-us Portuguese are a tempermental lot! But we strive for the better things in life. LOL I take ballroom in Lancaster at AV college and Hi Desert Dance Company.

Peace!

te falta la majia de tu viejo, que vos no tenes

[dancemakesmehappy]

he is the son, not the father. If you didn't notice...2 different persons. Let me ask you...are you exactly like you father? if that is the case...I'm sad for you. You can "look" like your dad, dance "alike" your dad, or his style...but allways being youself. Why don't you post a video of your dance, so we can see if you have ANY "magic"?

[mateando]

muy buena interpretacion! se nota que esta bailado con mucho sentimiento y muy bien por difundir el tango a lo largo y ancho del mundo!

saludos desde Bahia Blanca, ciudad que le da nombre al tango :)

I do enjoy watching this clip. Orland Paiva Jr. is good... not a lot of bells and whistles, but good solid tango. However I must say, I do prefer him dancing with Mariana than his present partner.

[dancemakesmehappy]

this is the way I like it...is easy to see the connection and passion of the couple, making it both a smooth and strong TANGO

[jad121]

Not as good as his dad but better than most.

[claudiacal]

very very pleasant to see .seems tobe like Chico Frumboli style.

[tangopasion]

baila muy bien, muy parecido al padre, ejecución limpia, pegado al piso,elegante. Muy bueno.
