This is International Tango (which you certainly know). And for sure it's different from Argentine Tango. Funny thing is that on YouTube it seems to be the Argentine Tango fans only who keep posting hate comments on International Tango videos, not vice versa. And that is quite telling, isn't it?

Foul language shows a lack of sofistication, which is amplified by the criticism made of this video. This is International Tango at it's best, like it or not. They make it look effortless, you can't dance like that without talent, determination, and years of practice. Well done

Thank you Mirko and Alessia,and all the polite commentators....

especially for the detailed descriptions of the choreography.I WILL do it-but it won`t look like this(do any of us look like olympic sprinters when we`re running for the bus?OK,you are so you do)

@singlemalt25 "Luna Caliente" by Prandi Sound Tango Orchestra. You can find it on the "Ballroom Diamonds" album.

I like this song... What is the name of it?

@bocaknights1 What Mirko does in the clip can loosely be called as "lagging behind the rhythm". In essence, he is delaying foot placement: instead of stepping exactly on-beat, he steps on the backbeat, or off-beats. For example, a slow-quick-quick -sequence would change from a "step-wait-step-step" (4 beats in total) into a "steeeeee-ep-step-step" (same 4 beats). You place the foot down (and transfer weight) of the slow step on the second beat instead of the first. Hopefully this makes sense.

People still compare Ballroom Tango and Argentine Tango without understanding that they are two different dances, not different versions of the same dance. Argentine Tango was introduced to Europe over a century ago and the style was developed independently as a Ballroom dance until it bore little resemblance to its roots. It is highly stylised, has different rules and requires different skills. I teach Ballroom & Latin and Argentine Tango. That's 11 different dances and I love them all.

este baile es una mierda y no hay con que refutarlo!!! anda a bailar la tarantella vos!!!

[Quequa1000]

@trotsky78 le cose stanno così: voi del tango argentino siete assolutamente insopportabili, invidiosi, astiosi, con la testa chiusa come una cozza, state bene solo tra voi a trascinare i piedi e le panze nelle vostre caverne milongueras credendo di essere grandi artisti e ballerini e insultando tutto quello che non è tango argentino e non è argentino. Questa è la verità. Se non vi piace questo stile, che cazzo venite a insultare? A noi il vostro tango da ospizio fa cagare e non lo guardiamo.

[trotsky78]

el tango es improvisación no esta mierda acartonada!!! ensayada y apática

[trotsky78]

vaya mierda, que el tango se haya internacionalizado lo comprendo, pero eso no es escusa para destruirlo... nadie bailará tango como un argentino asi como nadie cantará flamenco como un andaluz... esto es una porqueria!!!!! porqué no dejan hacer las cosas a quienes realmente saben???
