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.

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!

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.

Thank you, all of you!
A big 'thank you' to all of the blog readers who have emailed me. It seems that you enjoy watching the videos as much as I enjoy posting them. For those who are nervous about posting a comment - don't worry. Go right ahead. All comments are moderated so nobody will bite your head off! Your comments have two consequences: they add variety and interest to the blog; and they increase the blog visibility on the web. So, go on - post your thoughts. Tell me what you like and what you don't. Even a word or a sentence is fine. Everyone's opinion is of interest.

Murat y Michelle
Be prepared to be seduced. Murat y Michelle do it again. Another stunning performance, this time, this month in Indiana. And Di Sarli's 'Quien sino tu' just to top off the deal!

Javier y Virginia
Whilst you need an eagle-eye for the detail, this great clip shows perfectly the energy and style of Javier y Virgina. It also demonstrates the reason many tangueros head for Sunderland when visiting Buenos Aires. Sunderland has an atmosphere all of its own, frequently described as unique amongst milongas.

Juan y Carrara
A little glimpse of intimacy. Juan y Carrara are dancing here at Negracha in London - a dance that is so peaceful and graceful. No need for tricks...just simple, pure tango.

Chico y Juana
As ever at the edge of somewhere you probably have not been before, Chicho y Juana still demonstrate pure, essential tango. Honest but imaginative, challenging but reassuring, edgy but consummate. Watch at least twice and you will grow to love it.

New and challenging - Fernando y Leonel take Argentine tango to a new venue, and a different level. Here, within a personal conflict, tango is used as it always has been - to display and resolve innermost feelings.
Yanina y Neri
Smart, sharp - and don't the Oxford audience love them. Well, wisely - Yanina y Neri are two rising stars who dance with both precision and deep connection. Here they show us why we love Argentine tango.
