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.

Varo y Naomi

Osvaldo y Coca
For many years, Osvaldo y Coca have been showing us how to dance vals. They have a new, vibrant following of young energetic tangueros. Watch them here at La Viruta and see what still makes them the special act to follow.

Frederico y Liesl
Piazzolla in the Yellow Room. Argentine tango has so many dimensions, and this is one that caught my eye. Frederico y Liesl choreographed and perform this piece with such style, control, fluidity and connection. Piazzolla would have been proud of them.

Eugenia y Yanick (again)
So you like Eugenia y Yanick? I thought you would! Stylish, fluid, and sexy. Here, with plenty of light on the matter, we can enjoy some of the detail of what makes their dance special.
Eugenia y Yanick
Parilla in the pink. If you can filter out the pink light without squinting, here is a delightful dance. Eugenia, showing, and being shown off to best effect by Yanick's subtle lead.

Tango on Ice
Fishing for videos, I came up with tango on ice. A smooth, fast floor, well dressed tangueros, mate to keep them warm and no sign of stilettos, thank goodness! Well done Hamburg!

Miriam y Leonardo
Miriam y Leonard dance tango and their Californian audience go wild. Hardly surprising for the winners of the 'Superstars of Dance' competition. Having taken classes with them in Dublin I can report that I am in love with them both!

Pablo y Noelia
Sadly no longer Now, but great then, Pablo y Noelia dance to Fresedo's Araca la Cana. Still defining something that we all long to feel.
Miguel y Daiana
Caught in the web? Well the audience here in Beirut clearly are! And rightly, with such a fast and fascinating milonga, weaving a path that even the photographer can't follow.
Sebastian y Roxana
Smooth as silk, subtle, intimate and authentic. Sebastian y Roxana show effortless movement and connection that would grace any milonga.
