Jari, thnak you for sharing this and adding the notes about the lesson. We are all fans of Sebastian and Roxana. Have done several lessons with them over the years but still there is so much to learn. The Tanturi/Castillo music is also so wonderful !
They make turning so complicated and have to separate to do so. There is a simpler tango in the milongas of Buenos Aires, and you don't have to study years with champions to dance it.
Please note that this is is not Milonguero Style (estilo del centro). See other videos for that style in RUclips. For your information, Sebastian is the winner of World Tango Championship 2005. In spanish: Campeones mundiales tango de la categoría Tango de Salón 2005 (del 3º Campeonato mundial) . See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_tango_dance_tournament
Yes, I know they don't dance tango for the milongas, and that he is a salon champion. Every person is that class is older than they are, so social dancers don't need the "advanced level" exhibition choreography offered in that class. They need to learn how to improvise for a social dance floor.
Jantango Don't forget that Sebastian started at age of 15 and is therefore younger than most of the class. European tango dancers typically discover tango at much older age of 30-40 for obvious reasons. Improving one's body mechanics is always a good thing for any dancer. Somebody may feel some techniques unneeded and not worth practicing but that's another thing. But mastering movements like these certainly improves body awareness, axis and leading skills. These are part of the modern dancing tools, some of which can included in dancer's toolbox. Nothing to do with shows. You can apply selectively also in milongas with a good partner. There is no choreograph herey. It's all about knowing where the follower is and matching leader's moves according to it. That's skill. Sebastian and Roxana are social dancers and masters of improvisation by definition of their level of expertise :-)
Jantango You are just lacking some knowledge of tango history, the moment that made tango salon' became the social dance in milongas .. when they had to use bigger spaces, like gymnasium and basketball fields etc and they had the oppostunity the ability to develop pivots because the floor was made of a soft wood, and not traditionnal stone floor where milonguero and canyengue where the obvious and only possible way to dance. And actually, even milonguero nowadays is using more pivots (especially for the lady) than at that time. So please don't be so mind-closed, and check out this fulfilled richness of tango vocabular. And also, if you think it's not worth-it to spend so much time learning those steps (made for the show and not for the milonga) why are you losing your time watching them on youtube, are you interested in those shows actually ?
