Youtube, and the internet in general, is and will be the single biggest
thing to happen to Tango, and all performing arts, in history. Way

experience of 13 years in tango, I completely disagree with Charles.
There is a lot to be
I don't think anything can replace the good eye and helpful advice of a
knowledgable teacher in person - but I don't know how anyone would not
acknowledge how interesting the fact of YouTube's existence is.
I made a video and placed it there for anyone interested in the old music
and dance
The point is not that videos do not have anything to offer but that one doesn't
really learn to dance from them; they expand one's knowledge, which is

having 10 yrs or more of dancing experience under your belt misses
Ask yourself would I want a surgeon who had only learned his skill from
Youtube videos or one who had studied under the finest surgeons and performed
multiple surgeries under supervision and been selected from a number of
applicants for a surgical residency or do I want to trust in someone who
You tube is interesting in that one can view all the varieties in tango
happening throughout the world. From watching the masters I can appreciate
their expertise; however I believe that I cannot learn how to actually

I watched a documentary from Argentina about the old master tango
musicians coming together with young talented musicians to teach them the
technique
of how to play the original tango sound.

I think we all know that Tango Vals music is based on the Viennese Waltz and,
in fact, it's quite easy to dance
a Viennese Waltz to Tango Vals music, but at a quicker tempo - stepping on each
of the 3 beats.

I can sympathize with what he is saying. I feel the same way.
Can someone give me a description of the first 13 steps taken by the lead
in this tango opening.
I'm looking for a clear way of looking at it and calling the relative
positions
of the two dancers and the steps taken by the lead.
Perhaps, describing the follow's steps is necessary too.

I was viewing YouTube today to see how many videos of tango there are on the
site. Then I began a search by names of milongueros--Ricardo Vidort, Ruben
Harymbat, Miguel Angel Balbi. I was stunned when I came upon three minutes
of a video I filmed of Ricardo Suarez in June 2000. Ricardo and I
