Dancers we love? Espinoza & Hurtado
OK. Let’s not get off on the wrong foot, we love them, but I can’t help feeling a little bit guilty watching them dance. You see Pablo Rodriguez & Noelia Hurtado were one of the main reasons I stuck with tango through that difficult first couple of years. They demonstrated that tango didn’t have to be all snobby, stuck-up, fish-netted & fish-faced “Stictly” types (and their followers). There was something about them that just seemed a little less “Pantomime” and that was a good thing.
Anyway, you know what they say about all good things… I found out some time last year that Pablo and Noelia had split up. I watched the teary last dance and felt a little sad myself while doing so (you can find the video in question below). It felt almost as if my parents had spilt up and when, as happens in a parental split up, a new partner turned up in the relationship they were to be approached with caution. However… This new partner we know, It’s Carlitos… we like him, he’s a good guy and they have brought treats, this milonga for example… You have won me over.

@RICHARD SLADE I know what you mean. Mamié is just looks perfect when she moves and i like the Carlitos can blow you away with the complexity of his steps without resorting to any of the gimmicks that some dancers use. Carlitos, however, always seems to have an abundance of partners (judging by youtube anyway) He is a Tango rock star i suppose.

I was pretty sad when Carlitos and Mamié split. They had been a couple that I had watched and admired for a long time, and always thought they had a special chemistry dancing together. But, I have to say I love this new partnership.
