Hi Mario, My advice would be ... don't make the mistake of many and become fixated on a particular style or way of dancing Tango. Guys like El Flaco Dani can dance Tango pretty much any way they want. Mostly they dance in close embrace with a slight V-shape but they'll change a little to suit the partner, music, floor condition, their mood and the occasion. Dani is dancing differently here, doing a demonstration, than he would in a crowded milonga.
Check out this video of Dani dancing a milonga where he includes an underarm turn. I wonder what some of the purists on this list will have to say about that :-). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag5z84IzF-I&feature=related Keith, HK On Mon Apr 14 9:10 , Mario sent: >http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=GBmaWzYN-Pc > > This video shows Flaco Danny Garcia dancing to a slow tango. > We know that he is a bonified Milonguero and is dancing in close embrace. > At times he is opening his embrace so that Luna Palacios can do a figure or > two. > Hi is beginning his walking by going outside cross footed until Luna crosses > to parallel. > I would appreciate some opinons on; is he using a 'V' embrace?
