Very very nice. Interesting to compare to Tango Argentino, which I saw here in NY about 25 years ago. This definitely is in the spirit of real Tango, not the creepy stuff they do in ballroom dancing competitions. But with a kick of new generation energy. Tres cool.

This one popped up here a while back, and I have been trying to find it every since. Thanks.

Nice music, good use of the fedora but the dancing is not what tango should look like. That looks very sloppy and not passionate at all. Maybe I'm spoiled since I'm Argentine and my parents were hard core tango dancers. And no..........I can't dance better than the video.

I understand what you mean Bebop. My wife and I were in Argentina several years ago with a dance class to "learn" Argentine Tango. I have come to the realization that this dance must come from the soul, as the milongas we attended down there exhibited dancing like I have never seen. From youngsters to oldsters, I was astounded at the passion in the dancing.

Having said that, the "hat dance" is good for entertainment value, and gives a good example of the moves, but does not show the intensity one usually sees in the Argetine Tango. I was pretty inept at doing it myself, but loved watching others.
