Camille Levert, the video maker featured on Danwei TV Choice Cuts several weeks ago, has posted a video of a marathon tango sesssion outside the Forbidden City in Beijing. The dancing is Beijing style, i.e. next to a busy street and using a small boombox for sound.

You can find it on her photo and video blog Camillenligne.com. She also blogs in French at Camille en Chine.
