I haven’t posted for a while because it didn’t seem that what I was doing would be of particular interest to anyone else, but I couldn’t resist this one.
Liz is a friend from South Africa who lived in Buenos Aires for almost a year before the pandemia. When that hit, though, she went back to South Africa to be with her parents. All three of them are currently in Buenos Aires for a few weeks.
Liz took tango lessons when she was here before, but hasn’t danced for three years. Last night she had her first lesson of this visit, with my lovely tango teacher, Ale. As you’ll see from the video, she did very well. She asked for a demonstration from Ale and me first, and I’m also including the video of that.
It is about time for Ale and me to do another video just for the blog, and we still will one of these days. But this will do in the meantime!
The video of Liz was quite short, and YouTube won’t let you embed “shorts”, but you can watch it on YouTube by clicking the link. Mind is here because it was longer.
Well done OBO! Very smooth. And Liz is a natural at tango too.
Thanks OBO. Yes, Liz could be a really good dancer if she lived here and continued to dance. Maybe one of these days she will.
Helen, you really are a beautiful dancer, such a pleasure to watch.
Thanks Ali – you’re very kind. Every time I see a video of myself I see thing I need to work on – and this was no exception!
Its such a beautiful form of movement!
Yes it is, and it feels wonderful to dance it.
Really beautiful – but I was not able to see the video of Liz.
I loved this as I felt you handed yourslef over to the tango! Beautiful!
