The Argentine Tango

alternative title: Strictly Argentine Tango

In the same way that there is nothing as magical as watching Anton & Erin dance the Viennese Waltz, I can't think of a single Argentine Tango that is as captivating as the ones done by Vincent & Flavia.
It's in black and white because I think it adds to the atmosphere.

Dancing are: Vincent Simone & Flavia Cacace (I don't know who the other dancers are, tell me and I'll add the names)
Song: Closer by Jem

The original dance was done to "Libertango". What is the point of putting a different (and far inferior) piece of music to it? Completely ruins the atmosphere of the dance, and doesn't fit with the steps. Vincent told me that "In Tango, you dance to the melody, not the rhythm".

This is worse than pointless, it's plain stupid.

The easiest solutions is not to watch a, in your view, “stupid” video. I will however say that this video is one of only two montages on Vincent & Flavia Official website and was also used on the Official Midnight Tango website before the tour started. While you might not see the merit, it seems that plenty of other people do. :)

There is no requirement for you to like what I do, but calling me stupid for making this video is insulting and completely unnecessary.

This is an amazing video Lunalee. they are my favourite SCD couple, and their Argentine Tangoes are breathtaking.

@lunaleecreations I didn't call you stupid. I said the idea of putting that dance to another tune is stupid, and takes no account of Vincent's description of Tango being danced to the melody.

And it is impossible to know whether I would like a video without watching it. But you're right, I don't like it and won't watch it again.

This is show/performance tango done to contemporary music. For those who don't know and think they might like to 'do' this, you can! There is social tango where the couple doesn't perform, but they dance together and for each other.

2:15 - 2:50 she's pretty cool.

These two are great together. Love the monochrome. It takes away all the distractions and shows the dancing and passion so well

Can't believe I haven't commented on this! Stunning.

Brilliant choice to do it in black and white! Vincent & Flavia are def. the best Argentine Tango dancers on SCD. I could watch this video over and over again!!
