[Tango-L] Heel-first versus Toe-first

Here is a a wonderfully sweet youtube video of Osvaldo & Coca dancing  
at El Beso. Maybe you've already seen it.

I notice that Osvaldo dances flat footed 95% of the time. He also  
uses softened if not bent knees most of the time.

There is a point in the second dance where he goes up on his toes and  
evokes a funky or street feeling with some little teasing steps, but  
that is for special effect, and draws a cheer from the crowd.

(Although Susana Miller owns the club, she didn't teach Osvaldo).
