O.K. this is strictly a matter of personal taste but I would like
to talk about a recently made video that I find VERY reassuring.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcITzQ5viJA
This is it and this is why I like it.
The dancers are EstadoUnidenses they are in the prime of their
life (35yrs) and they are dancing a clean, saavy traditional
social tango. Their moves are not showey but impressive and
do not distract from their embrace nor the music. Their variety
of moves are expressive of the wide range of Milonguero technique.
They have the cadencia, synchopation that makes the dance interesting,
suprising, unpredictable, enjoyable. They are not robotic.
Everything that they do here could be done on a crowded dancefloor
and not bother any other pair of dancers...the key word is 'crowded'.
I like this sample of their dance and would like to see more.
I would gladly study with these people. They awaken my enthusiasm, again.

Well, if that inspires you, this should blow you out of the water - a
true maestro of tango
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqzaek6lO7s&feature=channel_page), not
one nuevo move in it. Watch it, learn. Oh, and if you open the link
and go "NOOOO", then you have missed the point... Open your minds....
Tango is never never 1 level. Not the music, not the dance, not the people.
For me, this couple were not very good for many reasons and that is my
taste - I like true style, not replicated; stepping on the beat, not
after; rise and fall, not bounce; collecting the feet when correct,
not forced; comfortable frame, not propped.... but as you say, it's a
matter of personal taste.

Prime of life is 35 years? Please. Life has just begun. Part of the beauty of tango is the emotional depth one acquires through the joys and heartaches of living. I know people who are in much better shape in their 40/50's than they were in their 30's because of the technique worked on for their tango.
