My brain is fried by the Dispari's! Here's a sample from their milonga - a fast dance, light footed and for them, different timings going on as they go into double time and the lead stays in single time, or vice versa. Great atmosphere and hoping the organisers can come over to Belfast some time to consolidate links. Daunting dancing!!

This is the tango they taught. Their style is Salon Tango which stresses the tango embrace and walking. Here there is great musicality - it is slow and succulent, ponderous and relishing every moment together on and off the dance floor:

I watch a lot of the evening! I've also taken more and more notes on the teaching and learning of a dance as usual - possible danger of hiding behind my notebook!?!?
