[Tango-L] From: Mario Re: Firpo

This video was shot at the Escuela Argentina de Tango at the Galerias Pacifico in El Centro where Firpo teaches. He's demonstrating the power of pausing (probably after a class with that theme) with what looks like a student from the class. I was fortunate to have taken classes from Firpo there.

[Tango-L] Dancing with Oscar Mandagaron

Oscar Mandagaran & Georgina Vargas have been giving workshops here in the Bay Area for the last few months. Last saturday night they performed and hosted a milonga. Georgina also sang and her voice is amazing. Toward the end of the milonga, Oscar asked me (among other mere mortals) to dance. It

[Tango-L] space in close embrace

The point of referring to the length of Gustavo's steps was not Giselle's back step or posture, although they are beautiful, but rather that Gustavo steps between her feet, not directly in front of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgnjOZxVsCw ___ T

Re: [Tango-L] Tango-L Digest, Vol 18, Issue 21

Oh yes Igor, I saw this one too and I like it very very much. Especially the first part when he does almost all walking, which is so underrated. I just returned from the Las Vegas tango festival and in the crowded evening milongas I wanted only a leader who would walk beautifully to the music.

[Tango-L] "Dying to Dance Partner"

Michael, This recently happened to me. I went to a new afternoon milionga for the first time and a man who I'd watched dance and thought would never ask me did. We danced 2 full tandas and later 2 more and we really connected. He asked where I usually danced and I told him I'm not a regular any
