Luca's Freestyle Tango Demo

A short demo of some various ways "ballroom badboy" Luca Barrichi interprets timing and style


Luca is what I'd call the bad boy of the Standard World Champions. This 2-time World Champion easily demonstrates the most attitude & style of the past Champions-- always striving for the "ultimate performance"

is it that really tango? no way!

Ballroom Standard & Argentinean. This is ballroom standard tango

Both contain combinations of lust & power: The Argentinean expression very much emphasizes the first while the "ballroom standard style" strongly places emphasis on the latter.

It has nothing to do with Argentine Tango because it is not Argentine Tango. This is International Ballroom tango. Completely different style. People should learn that there are more than one style of dance. The same with people watching international style samba and compare it with Brazilian samba, or international style rumba and compare it with Cuban. It is perfectly fine that you like Argentine Tango better, but you should not compare this couple to them, because it is a different dance.

@santafesino007 Ballroom Tango is a dance of power not intimacy. Both the man and woman express a movement of authority. If the woman’s head was held close to the man she would lose the look of power and authority. There are also many reasons that have to do with body mechanics and certain balances being in place.

@santafesino007 It was originally danced in a much tighter hold in the early 1900's, very similar to its origins. There was a German couple in the 1920's or 1930's who danced it much more open and with more movement, like the other ballroom dances, and who won and became champions. Afterwards, the ballroom technique was written to match that style and it further developed to the point where, today, the hold is very similar to the other ballroom dances.

i prefer the mirko gozzoli and alessia betti's tango demo

They are hilarious - don't you love the way they wave their heads about at totally random points in the music?

It's takes years of training to achieve such a total lack of musicality.

These people look like two marionnettes or somehow paralysed in unnatural poses. This has NOTHING to do with real Argenine tango. Compare them to Javier Rodrigues and Geraldine Rojas dancing Gallo Ciego!
