Woman's steps

Here is my other favorite bent-over dancer doing a Vals. Both of these guys make splendid spectacles with their giros; smooth, flowing, beautiful. I figure that each with over 40 yrs of milongeando experience, have honed their dance down to the most efficient and only what is necessary. Any insights into Alberto's giro's will be gratefully appreciated!

re: critique

sorry I was arrogant. But, because of my knee, I could not dance for almost one month, now - Hard for someone who´s crazy bout tango.

They are going to be teaching at the Chicago Mini Tango Festival in April (along with some other fine teachers).

She's not keeping up very well. Alberto's dance is great, very clear, always trying to stay with her, but at the same time playing a lot with dynamics and let usual patterns, hence her difficulty.

What is it really that you don't get about a molinete or turn? side, back, side, front... you can start wherever you want, you can lead then differently too.

He's kind of stepping after her, which is cool and gives you a different feeling than pivoting in place in his axis.

The lady is the one that makes the turns look nice from the outsider perspective. This assuming the man is clear about his lead.

For me, the coolest thing about the video is actually the dynamics of his walk.
