I hear it every so often: that tango technique, especially for women, has gone through a tremendous evolution since the resurgence in the early 1980s. Let’s just say I’m not quite convinced. Watch this clip from the 1988 movie Tango Bar, and draw your own conclusions.

    You should watch the entire movie. Although this is probably the best/most authentic dancing, the rest is definitely worth watching as well.

    Fantastic! Amazing! And the leader’s technique kicks ass too.

    the film, Tango Nuestro Baile is a great archeological find too …

    Absolutely, Tango: bayle nuestro is a must see. Fortunately there are also some other pearls appearing on youtube these days. Since most of the great milongueros are gone, old footage is the real treasure.

    I don’t think anyone in their right mind would question the ability of the (male) milongueros, but then people today make all kinds of ridiculous claims.
