A bit more tango

This is one of my favorite tango clips. They're masters, of course, and they dance to a Piazzolla composition called "Zum." (Even though Piazzolla's music isn't always popular at milongas, many good dancers still enjoy the challenge of dancing to his music.) I doubt there's any choreography here, since memorized sequences are reserved for stage performances; even at demonstrations, the pros do as all tangueros do - improvise at the very moment, shaping his footwork to the space and song. And it's the mark of a beautiful follower who allows herself to be led into every step without question, just trusting and losing herself in his lead and the music.

Here's another clip by the same couple, dancing to a faster piece, "Milonga De Mis Amores."

Some tango music by a great quartet, Quintango, based in Washington DC. You can get a freebie right here. Yeah, that tune was made famous in Scent of a woman.
