At the moment my favourite couple from the older generation is probably Osvaldo and Coca - I like how she moves very much. My favourite young couple is Adrian and Amanda Costa. When I read this post I thought of Amanda because I think her decorations really express the music.

That's a rather challenging question to me; the list of leaders I admire comes to my mind very quickly, partly because many of the men whose dancing I admire most, I've actually gotten to dance withThe Accidental Tangoistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345900075435510748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025617273952006880.post-89807215381240002432010-07-26T12:40:30.005-05:002010-07-26T12:40:30.005-05:00@ Accidental Tangoiste: could share with us who...@ Accidental Tangoiste: could share with us who's dancing you do appreciate?

This makes her look fab and lets be honest she is really great, but this is why they looked so good together. Ezequil now leads and she is not so much in control this is why they dont look the greatest.

I keep my mouth shut when those around me praise her dancing. I don't see what they see. I see a simple dance performed with too many tricks and no feeling. She will improve with age and tone down her footwork.
