Here is a dance clip with clear cross at 12 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRn3fW5GW2o The movie is Las Luces De Buenos Aires' (1931). Also very nice grapevine at 18 seconds. Overall very smooth musical dancing without discernible counting (six, eight or others) . -- Oleh Kovalchuke Argentine Tango : Connection, Balance, Rhythm http://tangospring.com _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
