Re: Vincent & Flavia Argentine Tango on SCD 9/12/07

This is Tango, no matter your preferred style and every other discussion about viejo nuevo or else. Just to exemplify for the purposes of this discussion. It's partly choreographed,but most of the time it's just great improvisation, the dancers are Geraldine Rojas and Javier Rodriguez and they were performing during an important European Tango Festival, the greek part of the TangoCamp in 2004.

Javier Rodriguez e Geraldine Rojas. Vincent e Flavia????????????????????

[PensaloBien]

questo video è stato postato (anzi, ripostato) dal mio canale per rispondere a una ridicola polemica sulla bravura (???) di questi Vincent & Flavia... ero talmente infastidita che mi sono sentita di rispondere a tono =P

[VeroniqueMagnifique]

ma questi non sono vincent e flavia...sono javier rodriguez e geraldine rojas....plagio.........cambia­te il nome...hehehhehe è un po' diverso questo tango.....argentino....heheh

[PensaloBien]

vedi commento precendente... =)

cmq...non è per plagio, ma per sfottò a chi pontificava sulla magnificenza di Vincent e Flavia (che io ho scoperto su youtube, ma di cui comunque non sentivo particolarmente la mancanza). Come ho risposto a robertangoblivion ero talmente indispettita che ho dovuto pubblicare un video di Geraldine e Javier, così per bilanciare le cose =)

What ballroom, what Latin and what competitions? This is Argentinean Tango. It has still managed to remain an art, despite some people trying unsuccessfully to make A.T. competitions. Haven't you noticed that they are not moving like robots, nor are they standing like peacocks, but they are focussed to one another?

This is very beautiful but, just because this is excellent, doesn't mean that Vincent and Flavia aren't. Just because it's two (of the many) different styles of Tango doesn't mean one is good and one is bad, just different. Chocolate originated in South America but now most cocoa is grown in Africa. Experts can tell you where it's from but for most of us it is just something to be enjoyed. Dancing should be treated the same way. You may have your preference but it all takes skill, so enjoy it.

@VeroniqueMagnifique mmm si mi vista no me engaña son Javier y Geraldine, considero que Vincent y Flavia tambien son muy buenos pero tienen otro estilo.

Hay muchos pasos que son tipicos de Javier y Geraldine en este video y no veo el estilo de Vinvent y Flavia aqui.

Geraldine Rojas and Javier Rodriguez are two of THE best tango dancers in the world. This is well known in the tango community. Vincent and Flavia are very good but, would admit themselves, are learning on a very long journey which takes many years..

[yuynkng]

wow both of them are very good

[MissCivility]

This is a spurious comparison. A better comparison would've been Miriam Larici - tango fantasia with lifts and so forth but done with tango technique, as opposed to Vincent and Flav..'argentine' tango fantasia with ballroom technique.

[nyctangojunkie]

If I want to watch technical perfection, I would go watching a ballet performance, not show tango. Just because one moves perfectly to tango music doesn't mean one dances tango.

[VeroniqueMagnifique]

si ma non si capiva che era uno sfottò....sembrava che jeraldine e javier li avessero spacciati per Vincent e Flavia...

capito il senso??????

[keithgb666]

Having just watched Vincent and Flavias argentine tango on this weekends strictly I think that they are technically brilliant at a fully coreograped routine, but for me the dance is all about passion and no one has ever come close to the chemistry that used to exist between Geraldine and Javier. the true beauty of their dancing brings tears to my eyes. They will remain in history as the greatest ever.

Beautifully said. Thank You. x
