It’s not the most inspiring performance that I’ve ever viewed but then I’m a little tired of being inspired with every performance. There is something that I like about this performance. Perhaps it’s the restraint, although there may be a little too much of that going on. But either way I like it.

This is a good example of how tango as a social dance for average people has become an exhibition dance to promote teachers and champions. The performances are choreographed and not meant for the social floor. They include more figures in one dance than one needs for a tanda.
Dancers need to see good examples of social dancing in order to learn it. These exhibitions are only marketing a crop of trained dancers who never go to the milongas to dance with others. They true test for a dancer is to dance with a stranger and improvise in the moment.
