This blog is merged with the ¡Caramba! blog

This blog *Performances for my heart and soul*  is today merged with the ¡Caramba! blog! With other words all posts are moved there.

It means that in future all my performance favorites will be posted on ¡Caramba! so you get a more all around picture of my everyday life/favorites within tango!

Well done Sebastian and Roxana!

Performing is not necessarily so glamorous and you do not necessarily know how the pista for your performance will look like or how the scene is prepared for you. Still I was surprised finding this!

Roxana is even smiling - real professionals they are!

Missing the valses!

Performers don't do valses anymore! or more precicely there is only few who do valses.

I have had this feeling for some time and it went down for counting at Forstbite festival in the end of February. There were three performers dancing three songs each with an extra song and this makes the number to 12 performances totally. Not even one vals was included.

It was a week or two afterwards I noticed this fact - so it means that I am not anymore even expecting to hear all three music types during performances.

That is the reason for me to share with you the all time high vals from years back!



According to information on video text this was filmed 2005. I am not sure if this is the original link but this song and performance had a total spell on me. It carried me far a way and still does. At that time Chicho was dancing so differently from other couples, he had such a musicality and as you hear he was appreciated by the crowd!

There is good vals performers but they are not so many. I will come back with my favorites some day!

A musicality that hits my core!

Adrian and Amanda Costa mede it again!  The way they do relate to the music  - I am just dreaming of it!

I can every now and then spot the patterns their teachers - Jorge and Maria Dispari - use but Adrian and Amanda have integrated those steps totally to their OWN dance; they are not puting up some copies.

Please enjoy!  Start by clicking here to a facebook link.

Frostbite 2015: Javier Rodriguez & Noelia Barsi

I have followed Javiers path since 2004 when he was dancing with Ceraldine Rojas.

He has an ability to cooperate with his partners and create an elegant atmosphere and dance. So also with Noelia!





I had some problems with audience geting in a prominent position, therefore I have used this oval framing. I appologize if you can't follow some interesting movements which are happening behind the frame!

Frostbite 2015: Horacio & Magdalena and Solo Tango

I start this short playlist with the 4th song!

In the beginning Horacio is instructing the Solo tango orchestra from Moscow as a reincarnation of d'Arienzo!  Enjoy!

During this weekend I became aware of Magdalenas beautiful walk in ipsilateral way - as opposite for the usual dissociated walk. Just watch her backwards walk in the very beginning of the 4th song! The whole left side is moving and then the right side with the foot, right hip and right shoulder simultaneusly back!

She is using the technique during every song and doing it beautifully!


Frostbite 2015:Pablo Rodriguez & Corina Herrera

This was my first occasion to meet Pablo and Corina and they were great!

The dances were wonderful and they were dancing beautifully together. One central detail not realy visible on videos is Pablos enormous concentration during the dance - I think it was on music but it could be on the dance itself or on something else.

Here you have my recordings from Frostbite 2015: Pablo & Corina

Pablo Rodriguez: some most loved!

Videos below are some of the most loved during Pablos career. But still I must say that the new ones from Milonga del Moran are fantastic! The best angle for the footing is for this Di Sarli!

Pablo with different followers

I have a often a clear feeling of a follower and they make me choose different steps among the all possiblies for that evening. Therefore I am curious to see if there is changes in Pablos dance with these three ladies.

Pablo Rodriguez with Corina Herrera, who is his doing the most performances with him!


And here a dance with Maria Dragone! She is one of my all time high follower. A follower who comes in to different occasions and lifted the performance always.




As the third constilation - Pablo with Natsha playing the Donato milonga El Torito!
