Dance personality
Just came across these recent videos of Virginia Pandolfi. I really enjoyed the way she stamped her personality throughout the dances; of course, it also requires a playful partner as she did here. I guess many will be looking forward to how her dance partnership with Javier Rodriguez will evolve in the coming months.
Some interviews
Since I have been neglecting my blog for the past couple of months, thought I’d bump up the post count before the end of 2011! 😉
Here is Part 1 (of 5) of a series of interviews (English subtitles) with tango teachers in Rosario, Argentina (map below).
Thanks to Janis for alerting me to this series.
Viejos milongueros
Just discovered this nice series of videos of various milongas in Buenos Aires in the 90’s. Since this was before the influx of tango tourists, I presume that collectively they are quite representative of the milongas in Buenos Aires back then. “No gimmicks” tango, just social gathering and self-expression.
Emerald
Don’t feel particularly inspired to write anything of late, although I must confess there is still a healthy backlog sitting in the Drafts folder.
Anyway here is a gem from the perennial Osvaldo and Coca, dancing on the occasion of their Emerald wedding anniversary – I had to look this up but it means 55 years together! Good for them!!
