In case you were taking this tango lark a bit too seriously, the Dancing Flower is here to help. Today, it interprets a track sometimes used for beginners' classes - Viviani, from the Carlos di Sarli album Instrumental vol. 2.
This is definitely going to be a series.

Lol, encore, More!
Milonga, Milonga, Milonga....
PS Reminds me a lot of the dancers in the JA dvd ;o)
haha, that's great! Sometimes how I feel like dancing ...
I second the vote for a milonga. I'm curious about the flower's musicality ;)
Hahaha! Awesome!
Oooh, I like it!
You should put these vids on the TPG group for a proper critique...
Go right ahead and critique it here! :oD
0-15 sec A strong dramtic beginning starting with a good simple walk
16-23 Good use of a pause and some simple adornments to reflect the music
Another clean sharp pause at 30 secs
I like the way the flower breaks up the next part 31-39 into a series of steps rather one continuous walk
40-49 again a bold decision to use large steps for a dramatic walk.
Then into a brief giro followed by even more walking (you can tell it's your flower!)
Again skillful use of timing at 1 min - 1.13 to selectively pick out accents.
(Well you asked :P )
Brilliant review, Ghost :)
Seriously, that flower shows far more musicality than the average AT dancer.
I reckon this should be used in teaching - "Do you have better musicality than the flower?" :)
Love it !!!! I wonder what the flower would do with D'Arienzo and Piazzolla... Please more...
The flower says thanks for all your kind feedback.
D'Arienzo's in the queue, along with some nice milongas - I think I'm going to use one by Donato. The only thing I've got by Piazzolla is Libertango and it's not his orchestra - but it seems worth a try. I think the flower will be appearing weekly, for a while. Pugliese's in there too.
The flower returns!
Im not sure it picks up the staccato of La Flete as well as it picks up the lyrical honey tones of a Di Sarli piece. Nevertheless it showed virtuouso musicality in the middle section, and even managed to finish its rendition with a well timed bow.
Bravo! (Oink oink now time I think for a refreshing G&T... )
eek - I left it 'processing' while I went out to lunch and haven't blogged it yet!
