Tomi O'Connell, a life-long Argentine of
Irish decent, is one of those special
milongueros whose name is
passed between women at
the milongas saying: "You have
got to feel how he dances, it's
fantastic!" He has been dancing
tango for more than forty years.
He is also known for his Milonga
with Falcety, which is similar to,
but different from, a "traspie". He
is accompanied by Elina Roldan,
who is, in his opinion, the best of
the young milongueras. (BttTV

The falcety is a slide step done in
doubletime that is a derivation of
the Argentine folkdance called
Chamame, which Tomi learned
forty years ago in Mendosa. He
demonstrates the falcety in
Chamame music and then how to
transform it into Milonga. There
are many very clever figures, and
numerous demonstrations to
music. Includes beautiful studio
performances with Elina. (60
mins.)
