Michelle y Joachim

Featured in Argentine Tango Now before, we just have to return to Michelle y Joachim for this milonga. Quite exceptional in construction, pace, musicality and precision. It is complexity laminated to simplicity; and it tells you all you need to know about the movement and stillness of milonga.

Slava y Olga

This video shows that you don't have to be Argentine to perform great milonga. Here, from Moscow Slava and Olga put lots of dance into their milonga; its pretty, its connected and very entertaining.

Dario y Claire

Which comes first...my love for Dario y Claire or the joy of watching them dance? Seeing them here in Meschers brings back all of the reasons I took lessons with them. You too could enjoy the Dario y Claire experience this weekend at the tango boot camp in Ardingly.

Sebastian y Maria

Ripplingly smooth, former world champions Sebastian y Maria glide effortlessly through their delightful tango. Try the giros at 1.32 and 1.45. You know you can do it!

Noelia y Carlitos

Last week, Noelia y Carlitos did it again. In terms of tango, Vienna will never be the same. This performance shows how sharp but expressive both can be, with absolutely no doubts about their meticulous musicality. A delight that deserves a place in the tango Hall of Fame here on Argentine Tango Now.

Cristiano y Andrea

The Argentine tango community is one of the most inclusive, and the historical tradition of men dancing together still persists around the world. Here, with great fun is Cristiano y Andrea dancing in Stockholm on Sunday.

Juan y Nora

I see from my mail box that you want more tango and less vals! Yes, the last few postings have been dominated by vals as I love it so much. But for those who want variety, here is the best 'Canyengue Now' that you could ask for. Juan y Nora have made a career from turning this old form of tango into a modern, accessible dance. Here is one of their best postings -it is defined by both the expression on Nora's face, and their reception from their adoring audience!

Fausto y Stephanie

Milonga Si, Bologna. Keep up with Fausto y Stephanie with their fast vals. It is a sheer delight, and don't their audience appreciate it!

Murat y Michelle

There is one big problem with Murat and Michelle when it comes to posting....where to stop! Here from Ann Arbor, Michigan, the most delightful vals - playful, intriguing and novel. Breaking the embrace normally comes at a cost, but with Murat the lyricism of the dance prevails, and the performance enhanced.
