Well, if that inspires you, this should blow you out of the water - a
true maestro of tango
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqzaek6lO7s&feature=channel_page), not
one nuevo move in it.  Watch it, learn.  Oh, and if you open the link
and go "NOOOO", then you have missed the point...  Open your minds....

Tango is never never 1 level.  Not the music, not the dance, not the people.

For me, this couple were not very good for many reasons and that is my
taste - I like true style, not replicated; stepping on the beat, not
after; rise and fall, not bounce; collecting the feet when correct,
not forced; comfortable frame, not propped.... but as you say, it's a
matter of personal taste.

> They have the cadencia, synchopation that makes the dance interesting,
> suprising, unpredictable, enjoyable. They are not robotic.

> I would gladly study with these people. They awaken my enthusiasm, again.
