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.

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.

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!

Sophia alone

What of the future of Argentine tango? Well, without question, here it is!


Javier y Sabrina

Define gorgeous; then watch this clip....Javier y Sabrina are simply stunning.


Miriam y Leonardo

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.
