[Tango-A] rare DVD, documenting milongueros in Tulsa -- against all odds

[nuspl]

Announcing a DVD now available featuring the Argentine Tango of Tulsa and the Guitar Society of Tulsa, in a unique collaboration, in an unlikely locale. 

I have a few copies left of tANGO & GUItaR LIVE in tulsa -- if anyone is interested in this curiosity piece / collector's item for your Tango-DVD archive.   In addition to the guitars and vocals featuring talent from Tulsa, it has two couples doing tango-apilado in close embrace, or tango-salon, with such things as forward sacada, reverse sacada, in series; ocho milonguero or ocho cortado; gancho; volcada; quebrada; enganche; etc., all at venues here in Tulsa.  It also has documentary video from an Argentinian milonga (dance social), to see how it's done in Argentina, and one example of tango-fantasia, or what to save for the stage and therefore what not to use at the milonga.  This is a demonstration of Argentine Tango, as done at the milongas in Buenos Aires, not to be confused with the American Tango or the International Tango, used in competitions.

Tony has had instruction from Santiago Giménez and Caroline Demers at the St. Laurent Boulevard school (Académie de Tango Argentin), in Montreal, otra ciudad seducida por el tango; with Miguel Angel Zotto & Soledad Rivero at the Castel San Elmo in Naples; as well as with Sharukh Merchant at Murray's Venue, in Mt. Vernon, Missouri.  Alicia and I have benefited greatly from the accomplished milongueros in Tulsa, who are exceptionally generous with their time and their expertise, as well as being gracious hosts.  Were it not for their improvised milongas and practicas, as well as their instruction provided once a month to the public at large, pro bono, there would be no Argentine Tango in Tulsa.  A thank you as well to the Ballroom Dancers of Tulsa (BDT) for their interest and support, including the upcoming opportunity to proselytize on behalf of Argentine Tango during their Saturday evening dance.  We'll do our best to scandalize the ballroom dancers.
