This is an "Organic" Leader Back Sacada of the Follower's side step. It was shot in June of 2007 at the Beat in Berkeley, CA. This is the explanation of how this particular back sacada functions and why its necessary to have complete control over the leaders ochos.
Shot on Saturday Night at the "Grand Milonga" in July of 2007. Sergio Natario and Alejandra Arrue were the 3rd and final couple. This is part 2 of a 2 part performance. (Otra! Otra!)
Shot at Stone Soup in May of 2008, in Kansas City, MO with Luis Bianchi (BsAs/NYC) and Kyla Joy Mares (NYC). This is completely unrehearsed, these two have danced together socially only once before, but have never performed together.
This was shot at the Beat in Berkeley, CA. Sean & Charity are teaching a FOLLOWER Back Sacada - ing the Leader. Pay close attention to part 2 of this, Sean makes a really important statement at the beginning that will help you to develop this sacada!
This is part two of a follower back sacada, leaders, pay close attention to Sean's advice at the very beginning. Repeat that mantra over and over and over again. Followers, Charity's advice is just as important here. Allow the embrace to go through you to your hips!
This was shot at the Saturday Night Milonga at the Denver Tango Festival 2007 at the Red Lion Hotel, its a typical walk through style that I've begun to develop. My apologies for the jitteriness of the post.
This is a mixture of snippets stitched together to give you an idea of what the quality of dance was like in the room at the very last milonga. It was held at the Imago Theater (3rd floor, nice space!), in Portland, Or at ValenTango 2008.

Shot at Stone Soup in Kansas City, MO in May of 2008. This is a companion piece to Stone Soup: Chef's Soup. This is a dance to Beau and Korey's LIVE music, with all the Teachers that weekend. And a few helpers...there's a surprise in this video...if the title doesn't give it all away. You'll see. Its a good time.
This was shot in Seattle, WA in July of 2007 at the venue known as China Harbor, at the opening night of Seattle Tango Magic 2007. It was a bit dark in the room and my cam works really poorly in low light like this, so I had to digitally pump up the image so you can actually SEE something....
Shot in San Francisco in April of 2008, at Oberlin Dance Complex at the Friday night practica during their week long stay in the bay area. This is part 1 of 2 demo performances they did that night.
