                                                                 But they are having a nice evening!

     

TANGO - PASSO 031 - SOLTADA

A figure for all ages!  :)

 Juan and Juana channel have a bunch of songs showing how they want to present the rhythms available. One of the pieces is a queen of simplicity with a repetitive pattern but still offering the listener a variation keeping the mind joyfully focused! It feels so to me;

How about you? after several hearings?

Pocho Pizarro Dances With Brooms

A good time to pick up this dancing isn't it!

Roxana and Sebastian in my heart!

 I have followed them on youtube for ages and they have always been among my top favorites. In 2018, at last, I got the opportunity to see a live performance with them.  To see them dance Tormenta, a song by Carlos di Sarli my world stopped! I was so hard touched by their dance, by their art! 

Later on I thought that I will  N E V E R  be able to dance that song myself. My steps would never honer the song deep enough.  -  but - when the song was played in the middle of a tanda I couldn't leave the follower on the pista but danced it and I survived!

The explosiveness of the dance reminds me of days for a long time ago!

German and Magdalena milonga in Malmoe

  

German Ballejo and Magdalena Gutierrez are dancing 

           a milonga in Malmoe

They were generous so there are four more videos from same occasion!

Clarisa y Jonathan Tango "Patético" Fabio Hager-

Milonga Juana Sepúlveda y Christian Marquez (Los Totis)

Juana is so FANTASTIC on milonga!

It was not really a surprise but this side of her talent has not bee seen so far. I got a feeling of that Christian Marquez was some worried when he heard the fast milong starting. She nearly pulled him in to the abrazo!

During the song he started to do more and more complicated moves, even some jumps and that shows how fast they find each other!

Enjoy!

Pablo Veron and Cecilia Capello at Bailongo 2018

WOW!

It's a long time ago we have seen a good video from a Veron performance!  It was not the dance but the quality of the films, the rare performances or something!

Enjoy!

Tango Passion in Asia: Tanguera (探戈舞人)

Pilar Alvares and Claudio Hoffman in Asia!  YouTube Erurope algorithms are not giving me this kind of shows usually. Just when I remember to search some Asian links they start to pop up!  Lovely!

They were visiting our community about 10 years ago and I still remember some of their figures for that weekend.

As Young! Christian Marquez y Virginia Gomez (Los Totis) - Milonga mis amores

I appreciate their dance since many years back but this is still a lot earlier performance!

Welcome to enjoy the young Los Totis!!

Rasche Notation - Tango shorthand

Specielt during the first year my need to write down figures was enormous! We did not have Youtube or books or anything to help remember the moves. The only aid in reach was to write down the steps!

During that time I developed some kind of way to note the steps - notes which I cannot read today, words are ok but the moves cannot be created based on them.

When I heard about Rasche Notation I bought the books and learned the basics. I still use some signs! Today it is not for the memory but an aid to pay attention to details on a interesting Youtube sequence. I look more careful when I write down the moves!

Here is a link for you to check if it would be interesting for you too! Sacada is % and it is used a lot by me!
