2005 World Am. Standard Championships - [Finals] Tango

[@xzu007]

The first couple you can see (63) began really great. Really musical beginning, I like that :) and I love this music.

Amigo, el tango no es un simple baile que luce bonito. Es un sentimiento, es algo que se lleva en el corazón y en la sangre, es algo que se siente entre ambos cuerpos al bailar muy juntos. Es un tesoro Rioplatenses que lamentablemente muchas otras comunidades nunca podrán entender.

[@thahiphopdocta]

I'm currently ranked 2nd in the nation in International syllabus, and I can tell you that this style of Tango is well received and well respected throughout the world. Is it the "original" form of Tango? Not necessarily, but that doesn't degrade it's impact, status or grandeur. Just because it's more aggressive and powerful and passionate (in a different way) doesn't make it incorrect.

[@andicar177]

Madyalena. The name of this tango is Tanguera and its author is Mariano Mores. A pice of this was used in the film Mouling Rouge mixed with Roxane

[@jelbows2]

these are the top dancers in the world...how could you not like it...some of the best i've ever seen

[@34thstreetman]

This is so much better than Argen tango. The steccato beats and the drama are what make it great. Those people who prefer Argen tango, stay on your own pages and stop making stupid comments about International tango.

[@Maciekmoc]

this song is fantastic!

[@lucygirl95]

yes, it is! love it! (music and dancers too)

[@Sefflon]

It's El tango de Roxanne from the movie Moulin Rouge. It's sung by Jacek Koman, Ewan McGregor and I think also José Feliciano - at least he's listed on the soundtrack. ^^

[@jelbows2]

the defending champs in this video are domenico soale and gioia cerasoli (pink dress) but the champs these days are paolo bosco and silvia pitton (torquise dress with the feathers)

[@webspy2]

El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge. We dance on this song, too (in dancing courses and girl, with I dance, sent me this song today, what a luck :)) ).

[@LoRyYyZ]

Congratz to these dancers.

[@krolowacalegoswiata]

You're right when we talk about Argentinian, originla tango. That is a tango too, but it's fitted to the tournaments and it's teached in most dance studios (when You're learning 10 dances - LA and STD) . But in my opinion that don't have this Argentinian pasion, so it should be always called 'almost tango' :P

[@Papkazz]

it is that song ;)

[@Papkazz]

You people are so wrong! You mix things up! This is not perticulary "British Tango".. This is International Tango, the kind of tango they dance in competitions - and these world am. competitors are preforming it beautifully! Absolutly Brilliant - the technique is not far from perfect (of course is not the professional leage - but still) I'm a Ballroom dancer myself - so I think I know a thing or two about ballroom dancing.

[@thegyris]

Youre looking at the top amateurs in the world, my friend. Id like to see you do tango like Domenico Soale.

[@mortygwhiz]

Argorese is correct. This is not an Argentine Tango. Jelbows2 is also correct, this is what was called International Style Tango. I'm not familiar with its current technical terminology. International Style Ballroom dancing has become quite popular around the world during the past 60 years or so. The Waltz, Fox Trot, Quick Step, and Tango are the four dances seen in most competitions. Argentine Tango does express more emotion. The International Style Tango is a schooled and technical dance.

[@34thstreetman]

@TheCutL This is International not Argentine. Two different styles, genres. Lets see you try it.

[@belladancer1]

any chance of uploading the semi final?

[@JEANfromTRANI]

yes it is!

[@Papkazz]

(the entire text could not be in one comment) The argentine tango you're refering to, has no much to do with the ballroom tango - correct. But no one is saying so. Again it's international. It's the same deal with the international samba - that dance is also very different from the original south american samba. So as "thahiphopdocta" say, this kind of tango is not incorrect. And people who say so, don't have a clue of what international ballroom tango is about!

[@merchus30]

lo tengo en otra version no se como se llama pero si queres te lo paso por MSN

[@ivatoneva]

Who are the defending champions? They are really the best!

[@Maciekmoc]

Le Tango de Roxanne - Cast with Jose Felicaino

[@vsebi90]

Where can i find this instrumental song. I don't find this.

[@kanakaken]

Tango as performed today in Argentina is not the same as it was in the 1800s it has evolved, it was first called 'Tango Andaluz' because it came from Spain to B.A. & the first music calling itself tango was called 'Toma Mate, Che' in 1837. Tango from argentina is their's from Montevideo is their's & all the other varieties of tango reflect where it evolved.It didn't originate in Argentina it was taken there & evolved there to what they do there today. Elswhere it's different but it's still tango

[@ShockMeAgain]

please tell me the song they are dancing to !!

[@ivatoneva]

If somebody can send me by e-mail this version of "El Tango De Roxanne", please write to me!!!=)

[@darkknight13579]

Ich stimme zu!!

[@jelbows2]

ye dont understand international tango..this is the best

[@binyillikcinar]

bunun gerçek tangoyla uzaktan yakından alakası yok vals den bozma amerikan tangosu..gerçek tango adımlarının inanılmaz güzel görselliğini, çok basit adımların gözü yanıltarak son derece etkileyici kombinasyonlara dönüşünü izlemek isteyenler gene burdan tango argentina yı izleyebilirler.. jorge torres de izlenmesi gereken dansçılar arasında

[@eduardogamero]

Besides of the lack of pasion. I can dance a waltz using tango's steps, too, but it won't be a waltz any more. This is a tango danced with waltz steps! The embrace is waltz type, the tournaround is waltz type, women's heads are as waltz is danced. Nothing from tango left over the ballroom. Tournaments of tango show tango dancers dancing stylized choreographies mixed with clasical dance BUT keeping the tango essence.

[@yokun4092]

1:38 they said her position is dangerous?

[@8uychi]

well i think tsugaheterophylla ment the argentino tango.. this is not the same.. (duhh).. so you CANT even compare it with eachother...!

[@merchus30]

como se llama el tema ?

[@locke294]

International Tango isn't about hot passionate love. Thats the American and Argentine styles. International style tango should be danced like you're a married couple who is staying together only for the children. When dancing this, you don't look at your partner. While these dancers do get sloppy in some parts, stylistically, they are dancing it right.

[@Debera]

ROXANNE!!!!

[@anatros]

Ciao Toro! Il tango è soltanto argentino, questo che balla questa gente è un'altra cosa, che può piacere oppure no. A chi sa ballare il tango, non può mai piacere una simile pagliacciata. Ma ciò non vuol dire che non abbia bisogno di una certa tecnica. Certo, il ballo è un'arte, invece questo lascia tanto a desiderare... Lascia stare gli italiani, il tango è rioplatense.

[@eduardogamero]

Hey, you should know that THAT is not tango... at all.

[@lucfaz]

ESTO NO ES TANGO, NI LA MUSICA por favor ver: watch?v=EyZq6sOLI0g watch?v=Z-VWoVjMugY&feature=related

[@darkknight13579]

Yay Deutschland!!

[@liukang85]

word... it looks kinda ridiculous

[@steady1000]

WTF is this! She's going to hurt her back

[@roelemans1990]

LOL

[@mavpinheiro]

Parece que nunca viram um autentico Tango, foi uma decepção este campeonato de dança, chega a ser ridiculo. Uma pena, pois são excelentes dancarinos.......

[@sineditarg]

Ummm, Not Tango really, That is valsroom far of the tradicional dancing. Have to had more pasion, woman and men have to be conected and dont have to take so many distance.. A lot of things are meesing.. Hope they get better by the time.

[@neouy40]

Esto es horrible!. El Tango se baila pegado a la mujer con pasion y sensualidad. Acá el hombre parece que lleva un muñeco de arrastro. Una mascarada espantosa -10pts.

[@bombina]

Yuk. ... and it's not 'british tango' it's ballroom, and not really tango at all. The commentator has a point, I find the posture offensive too. She's going to get whiplash. Does he smell so bad that she has to lean away like that? And they don't look where they are going so they collide with each other. Sorry, but it just looks to me like they've taken all the fun out of dancing.

[@Tsugaheterophylla]

Yuck. This is awful. The real tango isn't about clothes or organized competitions. Poor woman, it looks like her back must hurt. Plus the man and the woman are a mile apart -- what a missed opportunity.

[@charlesmdk]

awful!! Nada comparado con el tango argentino, nothing compared with argentine tango.

[@Redshoes531]

pretentious crap... and should be re-named Ballroom tango style . There's no tango in there!

[@lucfaz]

esta porqueria es cualquier cosa menos tango da verguenza ajena

[@balbosaurio]

jajaja... this isn´t tango..this is acting.. (eso no es tango pebete)

[@34thstreetman]

@TheCutL This is International not Argentine. Different genres.
