- About Left Foot Right Foot (LFRF):
The intention of Left Foot Right Foot is to provide insight on all forms of dance with a particular focus on Argentine Tango as both of us are Tango Dancers who have more than 10+ years of experience in dancing.
We are heavily inspired by other fellow creators in different fields such as Aba N Preach who primarily discuss relationships and culture. As well as the FUNG BROS. who primarily focus on topics dealing with Asian Americans.
Dance has been a vital part of our lives and we wanted to share our experiences and encourage others to try all forms of dance as we firmly believe that through such shared experiences we can create a better world that is more understanding and connected.
We also aim to cover the beautiful music of Argentine Tango which is not as known in American popular culture. Perhaps you have heard some versions of Tango Music in your local Starbucks or hotel lobby (elevator). You were probably listening to some electronic tango music that were popular in the early 2000s. Artists like Gotan Project or Bajofondo are regulars in this genre. Or perhaps you are a classical music fan which influenced some of the great Argentine Tango composers like Anibal Troilo, Osvaldo Pugliese, Juan Darienzo, Carlos DiSarlo, Miguel Calo, Osvaldo Fresedo, Francisco Canaro, Enrique Rodriguez, and Julio DeCaro to name a few.
Most people have heard renditions of Astor Piazzolla. We have such a passion for Argentine Tango Music especially the music composed during the 1920's-1960's. And while you may listen to popular artists today like Beyonce, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Drake, we also want you to discover music that does not have a similar sound to popular music today.

Simply because I am physically attracted to my dance partner does not mean this would be a great relationship. This person outside the Milonga may be a complete disaster. The great thing about tango is we get to sample the merchandise and put it back. This may be your best option. I’ve learned to be happy on my own and enjoy tango for its pure beauty.
I'm in the mindset that the way we dance says something about our character. Sure dance buddies don't always make good life partners, but I think terrible dance chemistry is a red flag for dating.
"AM I NOT ENOUGH" HAHAHAHAHAHA
Seriously the last words I want to hear
@@bertle615 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was the best conversation yet! So true. We are doomed. I have to live alone and dance tango. It works.
Appreciate it. We can laugh at our own misery or delight :)
I love you guys! 😂
Much Appreciated
I laughed so hard along with you guys 😂
😂😂😂
You guys were laughing about “the connection”. I did hear that sometimes. Is that just a pickup line? Is there any such thing or just pure technique, where advanced dancers have better embrace and rhythm, which make follower feel more connected?
1000% we were just joking because every dancer talks about connection in some vague way
My question is: Are you going to the Austin Tango Marathon ? I would like to dance with you two!
When is it? And which Austin Tango marathon are you referring to
I'd like to go back to austin. I'm going to lay off travelling for a bit. I'm focusing on stage tango and that cost way more money than I thought. But hopefully soon.
Lol dont worry about the 50+ guys on the dancefloor. Majority of young women are attracted to men their own age. I have danced with many good and advanced older dancers and while I was enjoying the tanda....I never felt attracted to them because of the age. I would choose someone my age even when they are slightly less skilled than me ;)
I'm not worried anymore, if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. But if I had to fear somebody, I generally feared people who were more established. It's not necessarily age, but generally older people tend to be more established.
Poor little tango so hated and loved at the same time and without being understood by people outside of tango 😂🥺
Yes you cannot explain tango to people who don’t tango :)
Most likely because we are sharing our experiences and perspectives.
Obviously we don’t speak for every person or community which varies greatly
Don't confuse/conflate tango with real life! You can't take the illusions of a milonga to actual life. And, if you want a real relationship with your preferred gender, then it's in real life. Of course, tango may be a part of that relationship.
How is romance different in tango and in real life? I mean you catch feelings and pursue right? And then you make compromises to make a relationship work. Or am I missing something.
@@bertle615 In tango it's unwise to be misled by the 'romantic feeling' of the role. I guess it's also about the type of 'romantic' partner you're seeking - from short term (one night? Until I find someone better?) to a partner for life. And 'partner for life' is more than tango; it's the whole sickness and in-health, poor to rich, kids, growing old together, etc, etc. That's not to say you shouldn't meet and become involved at the milonga/classes, but you each want to be the other's obsession and trusted partner; not tango.
@@CW-om2qq I can see your point, but I think if you feel something just be direct and be prepared for a rejection. It doesn't hurt to ask and walk away if it's a no.
@@bertle615 It's never wrong to ask (we are talking about beyond tango?). It's 2024 so no one should be surprised, or 'lose face', by a 'no' (hopefully respectfully). But you have to be aware of your own emotions and motivations. Yes, those can be shallow or profound. Just don't be fooled by the roles each of you is playing. 'Forever' is more than a tanda, but maybe a tanda is all that's mutually desired.
I had a guy tell me, his tango girlfriend spends in average more time in the arms of other men than in his. I felt bad dancing with her later that night.
That's tough
I stopped dancing with a guy that I noticed will avoid me when the girlfriend was around… never again 😂 with or without… be serious 😤
Haha why is that?
Oh oh. You two maybe danced a little too passionate 😅
you guys make it seem like the LA scene is just full of hot young girls, when in most other places the majority of the dancers are 50+ years olds
Come to LA and check out the scene. New York also has a fun youthful scene too.
@@bertle615 New york is still majority 50+ but there are a chunk of dancers in the upper 30s - late 40s range which i guess is considered young in tango but not really other dances lol
@@youtuber42069-r I'm 45. So 30s is pretty young for me. So it's all relative.
@@bertle615 asian don’t raisin
@@youtuber42069-rit’s called yellow fever here in NYC 😂
