Starts tomorrow. I hope other countries can get this program. Not much tango, but amazing dancing.

So You Think You CAN'T Dance?
Yes, there are many talented dancers who want to get a break by appearing on television. I've seen a few of these program in Buenos Aires when they air months after the season in the USA. I tire of Mary Murphy's voice; she could get her point across just as well by speaking rather than shouting.
I'd like to see someone tackle a different kind of program -- helping people who believe that dance is impossible. We all have a dance within. Some need help in finding it. Those who learn to hear the music can find it. We all need to dance, don't we? Dance Forum is proof that dance is an art form we need.

I agree with your sentiments Jan. In tango at the beginning people are absorbed in technique and i think what a lot of them need is to develop the courage just to move in their own way to music - without the constraints of a partner.

The UK version featured a really really horrible AT a couple of weeks ago - video here. It was like some horrible parody. (I only caught it because I was waiting for Doctor Who to start!).
The celebs who did AT in Stricly Come Dancing were much better. And that's saying something.
I wonder why Libertango is so often chosen to accompany such spectacles? Presumably the irony that the piece was never intended for dancing is lost on the people concerned?

God knows. The whole thing was a farce.
What annoyed me most was the volume of praise coming from the judges after that ... performance.
I mean, blimey, these people are supposed to be talented dancers.
