I don't think this performance is so bad, it is just not the tango you know. Also, this is a group choreography and because it is done by 16-21 year olds it is obviously lacks a certain artistic merit you'd expect from professional ballroom dancers. Also, as with all synchronous choreographies, the strong and sudden moves help to create the 'togetherness', which is used widely for formation dancing such as this. The choreograper did not try to put much fantasy into this dance, but it is technically well executed. The paso doble style turns and promenade walks make the whole thing very cheesy and unnatural, but you should check out some old ballroom videos from the 50s or 60s: now those are truly hilarious... :D Cheers, Aron -- Ecsedy Áron *********** Aron ECSEDY Tel: +36 20 66-36-006 http://www.milonga.hu/ http://www.holgyvalasz.hu/ _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
