The Wedding Dance: Tango

Most couples if they decide to dance on their wedding day, would choose to do a slow dance or maybe waltz. For us we needed a bit more of a challenge, we're gonna do a Tango.
Ever since Agnes insisted on dancing on her wedding day to show off all the dance moves she's learned from young, I decided ok, lets go all out and do a really cool dance to wow the audience, not the simple 1,2,3 steps make a triangle that type of slow dance.

The first dance that came into my mind was was the ending scene of True Lies. Where Arnie (now the governator) and Jamie Lee Curtis (playing the boring bespectacled housewife) took centre stage of the dance floor and danced to Carlos Gardel's arrangement of Pur Una Cabeza. This scene was etched into my memory since childhood and I considered it to be my favourite dance I saw on TV (Arnie was my fave action star by the way), the whole dance felt sexy yet elegant.

Showed the youtube clip of the whole dance to Agnes dance instructor, and we're gonna do dance practices until we can emulate the whole routine. It's been two lessons now, it's not as easy as it seems and let's just say that we really do need more practice, lol.

Watch the video of the dance:


The dialogue isn't in English but it's the one with the best picture and sound quality on youtube.

So what do you say, do you guys think we can pull this off?
