How small can you go?


Murat and Michelle have done it again! 
Another amusing video with a message about social dancing. (Shame about the leg wraps.)

Are you up to the challenge?

    I remember seeing Nelo Melo and Jennifer doing the same years ago in a video.

    They proved they can dance in a small space, but I don't care for those busy feet. If that's what is necessary to keep people interested in tango, then social dancing is doomed.

    Thanks for your comment, Jantango.
    I agree that 'busy feet' can detract from the social dance experience - especially if the 'busyness' disturbs one's partner. Unfortunately, some ladies can be so concerned with decorations, that they lose the all-important connection with their partner.

    Regardless of this, the video serves to show how much fun dancing in a small space can be. Those who can only dance in wide open spaces don't know what they are missing.
