Many of us have become familiar with music in ways that we may never have thought possible. Thanks to the Internet and some of the talent shows on television, we are becoming familiar with music, not because of the tune but because of the dance that goes along with it. It wasn’t all that long ago that most people would not be very familiar with classic dance, such as the tango, but these days, it seems as if everybody knows a good tango when they see one. That is about to be what you experience in the following video.
Alejandra Mantinan & Aoniken Quiroga are together as a couple in order to perform a dance and it is practically flawless in nature. It took place at the Tangoamadeus 2012 competition, and there were dozens of people on hand to watch the performance take place. Although it may start out seemingly slow when you first start watching the video, it isn’t long before it picks up steam and you realize that you are watching history in the making. Although they are well-known for the tango, they show that they are quite diverse in their abilities to put on a performance. It’s absolutely amazing to watch them move!
As it turns out, these two dancers were more than made to perform with each other. She has been performing the tango for more than three decades and has danced with some of the greatest names in the industry. In fact, she is known as a woman of ‘miraculous feat’ and has been nominated for awards around the world. Aoniken has also been dancing the tango since she was very young and has studied with many of the Masters.
They put on a performance that probably surprised everyone, because it is more of a swing dance. It is done to perhaps one of the best dance songs of all times, Great Balls of Fire. As you watch them move across the floor, you can see that their performance is one for the record books. No wonder they were invited to such a well-known and respected event, and I’m sure that we will be seeing more of them in the future. Watch the dance for yourself in the following video:
