Pablo Rodriguez & Noelia Hurtado: Tango in Zagreb

This video stirred up some controversy when it was posted to tango-l, with some people giving it a real hiding, and some people celebrating it.

I must confess that I rather enjoyed it. You?

Inspired by a Passion for Tango

In the occasional catefory of tango posts in unusual places:

She went on to explain that she really didn’t want to go into banking or finance with her Bachelor of Commerce degree, but that her family expected her to do so. “No,” she said, “that’s not what gives me life.” You see she’d kept a secret from her family while she’d been away. She had fallen in love. With the tango.

Conversation Agent uses a woman's secret passion for tango to illustrate the importance of keeping your passion for your profession.

Learning the Volcada

This video has been stirring a little controversy on tango-l, but I rather like it, both for the unusual setting, and the clear instructions:

Tango Commute

I've just figured out what the last entry was all about - it was an event called Tango Commute:

There's a whole gallery of Tango Commute photos on Flickr, and a local website has some photos of a pre-event promotional dance.

Silly: Tango With A Seal

Tina Tangos to Tina's World

Tina, late of Tina Tangos, now has her own domain and a new-look blog at Tina's World.

And that's not the only change in her life. She's making some big decisions about her future in Buenos Aires, too…

Tango Blogs: Kids, Passion, BsAs and Getting Ready to Tango

All the kids are dancing tango, apparently. I feel so much more trendy now…

I'm lovin' TangoCherie's updates on the Buenos Aires tango scene. I may never get down there, but she's letting me live the life vicariously.

Debbie of an Ever Fixed Mark bullseyes the scary passion of some online tango communities:

 

This is why I left a tango list. It got to the point where I was not reading any posts anymore because I did not want to deal with all the assertions of right and wrong about an art form that in its essence is improvisational, and therefor fluid. I know people who are anti-nuevo, anti-traditional, anti-alternative, anti-Piazzola, anti-occasional dancer, and so forth and so on. And they are all right and they are all wrong. It's all opinion and preference. And yet the force with which they assert their beliefs sometimes takes me aback.

TangoBaby gives us an insight into her preparation regimen before going out to tango.

And lastly, have you seen the new tango product?
