Tangobro: Thanks for that! Much as I admire the total juxtaposition between the music's energy and his complete stillness, I think I'd probably spontaneously-combust if I tried to contain that much music-power.
I'd have to express the bam-bam-bam-bam bam-bam-bam-bam etc a bit more forcefully to feel true to the music: (again struggling with Tango terminology) something like hammering the floor in a quadruple-time corrida carried out in a super-tight double giro (as DChester suggested), with an explosive step out if there's space... well, at least double-time....
Probably have to change the direction of rotation part way through so the follower (assuming a random one) doesn't get dizzy.
By the way, yep, the capitalised 'Performance' was meant to mean 'Performance/Stage etc', rather than 'a performance' - I meant to mention that before to Newbie. [For what it's worth, I have no problem with Stage Tango - on a stage; it just isn't anything that I can practically use.]
Newbie: Yes, I'm in two minds about this... obviously this is tip-toeing on eggshells country but: the visual artist in me appreciates that different styles are tools to be selected from as most appropriate; the martial artist in me appreciates 'completeness' in an art-form.
The places that I would usually go to for guidance in such Tango matters all seem to have as their answer: 'Oh, we don't dance to Pugliese', which to me is... less than satisfactory....
It seems that the tool isn't lacking, but the will is.... I have the will (and like Pugliese).
