[@Arashthearcher2023]

what is this type of dance called?

[@garrettgibbons]

It’s definitely a unique thing, but based heavily on ballroom Paso Doble, with elements of American Smooth Tango (which is very different from Argentine Tango or International Tango). But it’s mostly Paso Doble.

[@llberry2550]

its TANGO!

[@e1madelosangelesgiuseppucc476]

I recommend you Carlos Gardel, Enrique Santos Discepolo, Julio Sosa and, of course, Garett Gibbons

[@lindaadams8327]

Tango

[@foxxxy1115]

This looks like a weird and beautiful combination of Argentine Tango, American Smooth, and even a bit of Paso Doble, but I confess, when the pair comes together, what the woman does with her left arm is something I've only seen in International Standard, so please, someone educate me!

[@lumosmacsima]

First, there is desire, Then passion, Then suspicion, Jealousy! Anger! Betrayal! Where love is for the highest bidder, there can be no trust! Without trust there is no love! Jealousy, yes, jealousy... Will drive you MAAAAD! Roooooxaaaaane!... I really love the soudtrack of this movie!

[@carolinerose8411]

Yes!!! I was searching for this comment! Literally one of the best and so sinfully underrated.

[@wilhelmina8843]

Try this - I promise you'll enjoy it - even if it's just for the music of Rooooxaaaaane! Be sure to at least watch from 0:56 to 2:40 of the linked video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYCofJeNp9mtbLc There's a reason why it's already had over 17M views.

[@ekinisksal684]

I watched this regularly since 2014, I just love it

[@garrettgibbons]

So glad you have enjoyed it! ☺️

This is honestly one of the most captivating things I've seen in a while.

Thanks so much for watching! Please consider sharing with a friend!

[@cherybomb2412]

I love everything about this video ; the song , the dancers , the choreography , the outfits , the passion and the alchemy between the two. So so good ❤️

[@gamzeyilmaz3900]

and so hot and romantic. this song is perfect

[@user-og9ir1xn1q]

Honestly I feel shocked of how good the danced. It was magical and they definitely gave the vibe of the movie!

[@anasofiapereira]

I'm obsessed. Everything about this is amazing

[@thunchanoks]

I love how all the moves sync with the music even the tiny part of the rhythm... this is so perfect

[@bhqld628]

Gave me chills. Perfect costume choice for this dance, incredible passion, not sure who was sexier!

[@piaquadio1]

Too fabulous for words! A fierce Tango reminiscent of the Apache dance of the 1950s, not often seen today. It sure takes incredible amounts of strength, and there's nothing quite like the tension and passion it generates. BRAVO Natalya and Umario!!!!!

[@vickyg6182]

I’ve watched this performance throughout the years (now a college student who has been on hiatus from dancing) and I’m still waiting for the opportunity to attempt even performing this

[@philsskills]

It's a steep ladder to climb but if you want to reach the top you can do it! Natalya in this video has had her troubles but soldiered on. Hope this helps... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIWYYnR6mc6HpJo regards, Phil

[@alinev.3567]

Sou completamente apaixonada por essa produção, os dançarinos são fantásticos, os melhores que já vi dançando essa música. Muito obrigada por me fazer desfrutar de algo tão bom! Saudações do Brasil.

[@QueenBRK]

Ever since I heard this music I've been waiting for a dance that does it justice and I've finally found it.. thank you!

[@Injudiciously]

Who needs theatre? TV? Film? That was mind blowing ... Sitting in my chair in my home having a blast of raw talent and art blow up in my face. Thank you!

[@badjulliette]

I watched this video about 1000 times and it's still perfect. I cry cause my heart is breaking while the video is playing

[@user-lc5oc9cq5g]

Боже, это потрясающе. Невероятно мощная и в то же время красивая и эмоционально тонкая работа.

This is absolutely my favorite part of the movie Moulin Rouge there is so much passion and emotion in it and you giys absolutely NAILED it with this. You are both amazing and is wish i had the gift of dance as a talent. Its such a beautiful and amazing art

[@k888k]

Just Amazing...and this footsteps in the end... magnificent

[@DiMagnolia]

This gives me such a visceral reaction when I watch it because it's so intense and beautiful and almost painful to watch. I cry, get goosebumps, shudder, gasp, it hits so hard. AMAZING.

[@shelbymadley9769]

I have never seen such beautiful choreography. It was wow... I don't have the words. It was great. I wish I could dance like that. Good job ! 😀

[@1Valakii]

This is one of my favorite videos. I came here since 2014. I can't dance but tango is my ultimate favorite dance.

She is accomplished. leggy and beautiful, a worthy partner for him. But now HE impressed me!. He knows how to bring it. His body lines are consistently well timed to match up with hers, greatly increasing the viewers pleasure in seeing their beautiful classic forms so well in tune. And his moves are crisp and well executed, with masculine authority. There is no doubting his ability or involvement. Bravo, dude! Very well done, Mario!

[@dianaadamczyk5273]

Beautiful - and powerful.

[@tweetybird30]

Soooooooo perfect and I admire the way your bodies move. I applaud you for this performance. Outstanding.

[@Schattendichter]

I am dancing for 36 years and this is one of the best performances I ever had the privilege to see. Passion, Love, devotion. The steps in the beginning is a perfect opening, the smacking sound in the end is a closing statement and everything inbetween is purity of expression. Are there components that are not strictly ballroom? Come on, who cares! Don‘t ruin the moment by doing something called „Klugscheisserei“ in German!

[@user-hq3yr5em8e]

Потрясаяще талантливая работа оператора !!!!!!!! Бесподобный клип !!!!!!! Это всё, что надо знать о профессии танцора, режиссёр, оператора, стилиста, себя над собой !!!! Коротко, но ёмко об отношениях женщины и мужчины ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

На мой взгляд самое лучшее исполнении танго. Тут и огонь и страсть и эмоции и накал страсти и все под музыку с музыкой, быстрый темп и ты видишь эти эмоции, как они кипят, медленный темп и ритм танца становится размеренным и плавным. Лучше пока не встречала, к сожалению.

[@dad102]

I loved this. I am a big fan of Moulin Rouge. I thought it ambitious of you to update the dance from that section of the movie. But you totally crushed it. You must be happy with the way it turned out. You two make a good team. Nice balance of energy and sexuality, feminine and masculine. Natasha, ooh la la. Makes me feel lightheaded. Kudos.

[@Trollslanda]

I love Moulin Rouge, one of my top musical movies. Nicole Kidman was my idol when i was a little girl just 7 years when i saw Moulin Rouge for the first time, Nicole she is so phenomenal ever since in my eyes. Will forever have Nicole in my heart, she was magical and Evan oh my goodness, That man can sing, and Koman.. the most sensual erotic voice ever! Remarkable acting of everyone involved.

[@user-tf4bl6no6g]

Oh wow. Goosebumps ❤

[@Strive1974]

They way their bodies move in sync, sweaty and passionate, locked in a firm embrace they dance ever so floatingly amidst the dance floor they glide!
