Here is a link to Orlando Paiva, Sr. dancing in the movie, "Assassination Tango": Orlando Paiva, Sr.

There are many qualities that make this dance special. Doing overly fancy things is not one of them. He doesn't have to do extremely flashy things to look extremely beautiful.

Here is a partial list of what is wonderful about his dancing:

  • The simple step out at the beginning. By not making a big thing of it, there is a purity that is wonderful.
  • The clarity of each of his steps.
  • His beautiful line and the wonderful articulation through his feet.
  • The sense that he has all the time in the world. It feels like Orlando Paiva, Sr. has more time than the others who are dancing to the same music.
