My favorite reckless leaders with a matching follower!

 The careless freedom in their dance is a relief! 

Check it with your own eyes!                                      

Roberto Reis has been one of my top reckless leaders and Guillermina Quiroga is the perfect, adventurous match in this milonga!

Another reckless leader of a later date is Maximiliano Cristiani here with Jesica Arfenoni!

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!

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.

a Vals from Seoul

A vals from a tango event in March this year. It took place in Seoul South Korea and the performance takes together a Russian (?) tango orchestra Tango en Vivo with the performing couple Anne and Eric from Taiwan.

Argentine - Russia - Hong Kong connection

On this first video Maria and Alexandr Frolov are dancing Invierno played by
“Solo Tango Orquesta Tipica”. So we have the Argentine - Russia connection!

When we get more south we meet the same couple in Hong Kong!

I like the small musical jerk they use every now and then. You find an example on this picture, Check the time there and check it on the video! then you can enjoy even the musical accent to this!  

(Time 0.58 )

                                         

I liked her dress very mucht too!              

What a valse: Quien Sera, Edgardo Donato

It goes some slow and always in flow!     

                                               My favorites for these days!

Kalganova and Nadtochi to waltz - a beaaaauty!

There is today only a few couples who master waltz and clearly fewer who will do it with this skill!

Kalganova Eleonora and Michael Nadtochi are performing at a milonga in Denver, Colorado: Juan D'arienzo "Corazon De Artista.



Here you can read more about this couple, the stars on the Tango Salong sky!

Contemporary Tango Festival 2016

The well known tango DJ  - Tanda of the week - Antti has other skills too!
It is nice to find out that tango is including so much more activities than ordinary dance festivals!







We maybe meet some where else this year!  Who knows?

Roxana Suares and her playfulness!

Lucky me to hit this video from Brussels Tango Festival again and I was moved near to tears by the  Edith Piaf vals she and Fernando Sanchez were dancing that year! Nearly painfully enjoyable!

Her excellent technique is always visible but the playfulness and musicality came to glow this time!

The year after, 2016,  she danced with Chicho and proved the same!

Enjoy you too!

A group performed milonga!

What a fantastic group perfomance of Sebastian Archaval & Roxana Suares and Neri Piliu & Yanina Quinones

So clearly  and well timed steps!

Korea Tango & Argentine group

There are benefits to train together with your peers! You learn about the musicality - more so with a good choreographer! How to relax in the moves so the the performance looks like improvised and still stay synchronized with your peers!

There were several groups in the competition but tis one I like a lot!

Noelia and Carlitos — Their way into Tango...

They may tell themselves!





Here a really rough videofilm about their dancing!

The story: Leo and Eugenia in Stockholm!

Without a serious survey I still think that Leo and Eugenia are the couple who has done most performaces with a whole story placed into one song! Here you have one of them!

The newspaper game!

At Philippines even children dance better than me

How old could they be?  Ten or twelve years?

But what a waltz these kids are showing us!

The choreography is fantastic too!
I will definitely pick some moves from it for private use! :)

They are working really hard for a good dance in the Asia! Check this choreography drill for Kyle!

Alejandra y Aoniken the most touching

They are thr most touching couple for me thesee days!
Often times I am near the tears through the video and I watch it again and again. Not happening with any other couple!

Her body moves like a floating whiplash to music and he seems to offer the adventurous enough interpretation of the music for her!

Foxtrot suitable as a milonga?

The following discussion was if this was a foxtrot or quick step and if it could be danced as a milonga

What do you think? Could this be a good break during a loooooong  tangonight?
