Video of the Week: No, Seriously.
Milonga is my absolute favorite.
People who can dance actual Milonga instead of just Fast Tango are my double absolute favorite.
Women who can follow Milonga instead of just Fast Tango are my triple absolute favorite.
Men who can lead Milonga instead of just Fast Tango are my quadruple favorite. (There are, like, three in my community! THREE! WHITHER, you guys, seriously!)
People whose feet move like little hovercrafts are my favorite, favorite, favorite.
This is Flaco Dany and Silvina Valz. When I make it to Buenos Aires I'm totally taking his milonga classes as a leader. He allows it without fuss, which makes him a cool cat.
I've already taken a few classes with Silvina, and she's one of the few people in front of whom I got absolutley starstruck and tongue-tied. I mean, I'm a bastardy grump, we all know this, but usually I can summon a "Oh, hello!" if someone greets me. The first time I saw Silvina in a social setting after class went like this:
Silvina: Hi!
Me: ...............
I just couldn't think of anything to say that didn't involve me leaping on her and shouting wildly, "SHOW ME THAT THING YOU DO WITH YOUR FEET!"
Not that it would make much difference; I think she could show me for the rest of her life and I wouldn't get it.
ANYWAY, ignoring my crippling social problems, here's the video.
