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

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.

(thought you might get a kick out of this Ramzi )

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.
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?
