Video watching
To be honest, I don’t dance much these days, the last being a couple of nights 6 months ago, then another single night 3 months prior. However I still enjoy watching tango videos on Youtube. Here is a nice couple I found out from my feeds on Facebook. A small comment, looking back over their videos from 6 years ago, it seems their favourite combinations haven’t changed much over the years, except more smoothly executed, and more relaxed and less forced into having to cram many highlights into one performance. In fact, I noticed with many well-known teachers, their bread-and-butter moves can remain for as long as up to 10 years, but naturally the execution improves over time. I suppose this is part of human nature that it’s extremely difficult to continue to reinvent yourself?
Vals by Sebastian Achaval and Roxana Suarez
One of my favourite performances during the just concluded Singapore Tango Festival.
Milongas
Not sure how I missed these two videos in the past. Anyway two milonga performances here, two different partners, roughly one year apart from one of the exciting younger generation that I love watching. There are definitely some signs of evolution here but still the same energy and keen ear for music. Enjoy!
Video catalog
Seeing that these lists of music have served me well over the years
by, for example, preventing me from buying dupicates(!) and generally letting me double-check what I already have before making a recommendation, etc.
I think it’s time to also make a list of my video collections too.
As it turns out the list is not as small as I thought! Needless to say, I have also not been as studious as I intended to be. 😉
