This clip is presumably from their Argentinean television show in 1987. Maria is 48, Juan is 56.

It is cool to see the evolution.

They are both beautiful dancers! The 3rd clip is from the movie "Tango" by Carlos Saura, and Copes was 67 at the time. I loved that movie ... I remember I practiced 1 8 count sequence in that movie for hours :)

Thanks!

P.S. I found it ... it was the "Salida simple in 8 tiempo" :)
