Getty stock video footage of tango
The clip below is one of several pieces of black and white stock video footage of tango dancing licenseable from Getty images. It is interesting to consider what movement "look" from tango dancing would have commercial use value. These clips are short, but have instant recognition as "tango sizzle". I suppose one would want this kind of action on a TV spot selling pleasure products. Would it work for selling life insurance or mutual funds investments?
Equally interesting are Getty's keywords used in the description (attached below) that accompanies this clip on Google Video. The meaning of "Hispanic Identity" is more or less obvious, but what connotations are they association with "heterosexual couple"... is "hetero" just a technical descriptor, or does tango dancing imply heterosexual romance. Does Getty have any video classified as "homosexual couple"?
I am also amused by the "Adults Only" tag; this clip doesn't convey that to me, but it's true that one doesn't find many minors interested in dancing tango.
