RE: Ramzi doing something different.... (in reply to Piwin)

It's becoming more common nowadays for everyone to lead and everyone to follow regardless of their chromosomal make-up.

I've started taking lessons as a beginner follower a few weeks ago, so I plan to begin working on learning the other role as I've been primarily leading for the past four years.

That's interesting. I wonder if learning how to follow will also improve your dancing as lead.
I've noticed one thing in your videos. There's just not enough head-bobbing.
This style of tango should be included in any beginner's course:

Beautiful Ramzi and Elly!

Amelie will be proud! You both looking like two dolls in an old fashioned music box.
Nice how you both express the music with your body and synergie.

RE: Ramzi doing something different.... (in reply to rombsix)

The course is by a guy named Eli Prinsen. It’s greared toward rock/metal folks who are after that opera rock voice, but the course starts with absolute beginner basics. Although I wouldn’t say that I’d feel limited to that genre, the stuff I’ve done seems like standard basic training. And after learning this style I feel like I could sing anything, but metal is his focus.

RE: Ramzi doing something different.... (in reply to rombsix)

I was always wondering how this kind of Tango and the (for lack of better term) "Gitano Tango" are related besides the name?

What's seen in this thread (and in a lot of other videos labeled "Tango") here reminds me of Wiener Waltz, also the music sounds very classical-y.
It seems very organized and structured.

What I see the Gitanos do seems veeery different:

or
https://youtu.be/M7WFwh2FPT8?t=204

This "style" seems much more improvised and has some frenzy character to it.
Not only what I see is very different, but also what I hear/what is played on guitar seems very different.
How do these two relate and how come they are so different whilst sharing the same name?

I've actually danced with Melanie in Montreal. She's great. Esa!

Deniz, I've actually compared flamenco and Argentine tango before, but the police here got upset with me, so I backed off.
