[nacotete]

Whoever filmed this did a great job with the video camera...excellente!!!

[GreatFun0]

poor!

[Dario235]

por que es pobre? sabes de lo que estas hablando para hacer un comentario tan poc lleno de contenido?

[chitango]

Dario,

Possibly GreatFun likes the "aerobics with bandoneon" that we get to see so much of lately.Maybe there are not enough kicks and off balance,off axis moves here for him and that's why he calls it poor???

[Dario235]

pero si al él le gusta eso no entiende nada de tango, aca estay bailando tango salón, seria un insulto bailar como el dice en este caso

[chitango]

Por supuesto que no entiende NADA de tango,por eso lo dije con ironia con aquello de "off balance and off axis"

Tu baile es elegante como lo llama el tango qu estas bailando. Ya sabes que hoy dia todos son los grandes criticos ,no?

[nacotete]

It's Me voy a Baraja by Edgardo Donato.

And those of you who make snarky comments, if only you could get a dance with any of these people, it would be your lucky day.

There is a twilight zone where teachers and stage dancers exhibit their talents with a relative success. Demonstrations for one, and performances for the latter. A lot of teachers are performers wannabies and a bunch of performers are giving masterclasses all over the place. Posture and imposture are two sides of the same coin, enough for a flipping student.

If these were exhibition dancers I might agree with nyctangojunkie, but they're not, they're social dancers and the measure of their dance should be different. Musicality and clarity of leads is much more important. Their followers are the best judge of their leading skills. Robin, for one, is a superb social dancer and is excellent at moving his students along.

I don't see who you could be talking about need better psoture. I have dance with all the woman in the video and I know all the men. They are all very good dancers and a pleasure to know also!

[TangoSnozzle]

I enjoyed the video very much. It's "proper" Tango danced to "proper" music thank goodness.

I love the piece of music. Can anyone give me the title and orchestra please?

[blancocorvidus]

Are you joking? Whom are you referring to? I know them all.

[nyctangojunkie]

some of these people really need to work on their postures and walks.
