They are dancing stage tango, no doubt about it.  They are well known as tango dancers   Miguel Moyano and Augusto Balizano.

See them dancing "Ojos Negros" , another tango.

The music is "Escualo" (shark) by Astor Piazzola  (tango music).    

The choreographic moves are all typical of stage tango:

Several Chains  (cadenas).

Caminadas, sacadas, corridas, cuchillas (kicks in between the legs), hooks, lifts, free turns, soltadas, tango side by side,
jumps, piernazos, poses, sentadas, amagues, boleos, etc, etc,.

Summary:  Tango music, Tango choreography, tango dancers = Tango.


Best regards, Sergio
