Argentinian tango videos

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:05:01

We have created a new section in your Argentinian tango website.

We are committed to show you the classic codes and traditions that are part of Argentinian tango. For that reason, every week we will add to the website examples of dancers that represent these features. Have a look at their posture, cadence, elegance and presence while dancing. This will give you an idea of what you can accomplish with a bit of practice.

This week's addition is Roberto Herrera. He was born in Jujuy, Argentina and he has been a tango dancer since 1986. Since then, he has been on several events around the world, giving demonstrations and classes.

Enjoy the video.
