Why do people refer to women as "the follow"? It rhymes w. swallow and also hollow.
I prefer "puppet", because like Chucky they can have minds of their own.

Documentary "Argentine Tango"
Excerpts from the Russian documentary on Argentine Tango by Ella Korolenko and Lennauchfilm.
- YouTube - The documentary film "Argentine Tango"
- YouTube - The documentary film "Argentine Tango" v.II Here interviewing Copes and showing scenes from the show "Tango Argentino".
The couple who started as lovers, then husband and wife, then they divorced, but still kept dancing with each other. He's been dancing for 60 years and considers himself a dilettante. And finally, when death comes we invite it to tango as well. And my whole life is an overwhelming passion. Whenever i come here I feel a beautiful sadness. (notes translated by Yulia from voiceover.)

Alberto's Birthday
YouTube - ALBERTO'S BIRTHDAY PARTY - PART 1
Alberto Paz and Valorie Hart share a special video from their private collection - Alberto's birthday party in Buenos Aires. I'm guessing this is 1997 or so -- ten years ago! (How time flies.)
Mingo and Esther, Pupy and Graciela, and Facundo and Kely dance in Alberto's honor.

YouTube - GAVITO teaches tango y nada mas - Excerpt
In 1996 Valorie Hart and Alberto Paz were asked by Carlos Gavito to organize his promotional tour across California. This came after Forever Tango had left San Francisco, and right after derogatory commentaries about Gavito had been posted on a notorious tango list on the Internet by some pseudo intellectuals from the Bay Area.

Gavito and Marcela Duran dance in San Francisco during their Planet Tango sponsored 1996 California tour.

Portalea
Video of the late great Gerardo Portalea excerpted from Tango Bayle nuestro (1988)
In this film Portalea is shown in his kitchen demonstrating the cadencia of the old days and the cadencia as they do it now.
Another clip: YouTube - Entrevista a Gerardo Portalea Interview conducted at Sin Rumbo.
In an interview in La Nacion, Pupy Castello was asked where does his style come from. He answered,
In the first place from people like Gerardo Portalea, who does not have a great variation of steps, but he has an impressive cadencia. For better or worse, my style comes from these old men of Urquiza. Standing well, well armed, carrying the beat. Not running, because now they dance a Pugliese and it seem that they dance a D'Arienzo. Earlier, in the contests, what they were looking for was the beat and the elegance, more than the steps. To walk is everything.*From Los milongueros enseñan sus secretos | LANACION.com (Martes 27 de julio de 2004)
In one of Mingo and Esther Pugliese's instructional videos (Bridge to the Tango), Mingo makes an unusual digression. They have just explained the way to use the movement called vaiven, then Mingo remarks that this movement, it is not very common, but there is one dancer from the older generation who used it a lot, and still does. He is Gerardo Portalea. Esther adds that he uses the vaiven because he dances to the music of Di Sarli.
*Original
-En primer lugar de gente como Gerardo Portalea, que no tiene una gran variación de pasos, pero tiene una cadencia impresionante. Mejor o empeorado, mi estilo viene de esos viejos de Urquiza. Bien paradito, bien armado, llevando el compás. No corriendo, porque ahora te bailan un Pugliese y parecen que te bailan un D´Arienzo. Antes, en los concursos, lo que te miraban era el compás y la elegancia, más que los pasos. Caminar es todo.
