It's not hard to see why he's a ladies' favourite!


Several seasoned milongueras have let slip that they simply adore dancing with him.

Just watch his delicious response to the music, the lovely embrace and how he communicates the cadences of the music to his partner.

Thanks Jantango for sharing these clips of Ismael Heljalil.

    Thanks for pointing this out, Louis.

    I consider Tango and Chaos compulsory reading/viewing, with so many gems and insights about tango. However, I had forgotten that Ismael was featured.
