Así se baila el tango
I make no secret of the fact that I am completely hooked on Strictly Come Dancing. This year’s has been the best ever, and last night we were treated to a final in which any one of the competitors – Jason Donovan, Chelsee Healey and Harry Judd – could have won. They were all magnificent.
I have also recently confessed to wishing I had been born in Buenos Aires, where by virtue of my grace, beauty, talent, passion and dedication I would be an acclaimed tango dancer. (Hmmm, actually – now that I’ve done a quick search through my blog – I see I’ve been making references to this on and off for two years!)
So you’ll understand why I feel I must share this video with you: Harry Judd (dancer of four month’s standing; drummer with the band McFly) and his professional dance partner Aliona Vilani performing their beautiful, passionate final dance of the series before being crowned Strictly champions of 2011. Just look at that line at 26 seconds!
The music – Así se baila el tango – translates as ‘Here’s how to dance the tango’.
Indeed it is!
Thank you 
Merci beaucoup 
Thank you 
It was much better the second time around, wasn’t it. I agreed with Len the first time, I thought it was a little correct and clinical, but there was a bit more fire in it.
Mind you, anyone would dance better in the Tower Ballroom – I’ve been there, and it’s a wonderful place!
Thank you! We ‘had’ to go to a party on Saturday (which was very enjoyable in the end) so we missed the final, having seen all of the series so far. I was really quite tempted to come down with a sudden illness on Saturday evening so I could stay at home… Would love to go to the Tower Ballroom even though I have several left feet and NO hip action whatsoever
Oh, what a show and fabulous dancers ! incredibly beautiful. Tango at its best. Thanks for sharing this video, Janice.
