Hi,

I was checking out your site PATangos - I am wondering, if only because you
and Sean call yourselves Trini Y Sean, if either one of you are Spanish?

IMHO, as a fan of ballet and modern dance, when her leg flew outstretched
above her hips eg 5:49 and 6:00 and she suspended it there eg 5:00 made it
ballet like.

But what style was it?

If I look at https://www.tejastango.com/tango_styles.html (and many other
sites have similar interpretations) the style fits into Fantasia. They are
excellent at this kind of dance but I do not know if they can really
translate it into traditional tango dancing. However,
https://buffalotango.com/html/l_-_tango_styles.html suggests that
Fantasia/Show tango will help you in your "normal' tango.

BTW, the move at 4:20 (and similar) was demonstrated several times in a
tango show in Melbourne on the weekend by salon/milonguero dancers. Is it a
trend?

I do like what Sebastian said at the beginning.

Interesting question on what is Argentine tango. Reminds me of some of the
guiding principles of an Australian tango club:

Which tango?
1. The Club's primary focus is on participatory Argentine
social tango.
2. The Club recognises that the definition of Argentine
tango is contested, and will change over time.
3. The Club recognises the importance of tango as a
performance medium, and the fusions with other dance and theatre forms that
this involves; but does not devote its resources to working in this area
except to attract people.
