Caught these two in the act right at the edge of the pond. I believe it is a pair of Cardinal Meadowhawks.
This series was taken at a tango workshop. Along with the dramatic music and flailing legs, I found the intensity and interaction of the individual dancers very interesting.

The origin of the group dates back to March 1983 after a meeting held in the Panama Canal College between bassist Rodrigo Garcia, founder of the tribute band December's Children and drummer and vocalist Chris Swaney from "Magic", a rock group from the former Panama Canal area. Garcia was eager to continue his musical activity after the guitarist and the drummer from December's Children, José Domingo "Mimito" Arias and Fernando de León left Panama to study in Argentina. Swaney was in a transition period with his group due to the departure of other members, who belonged to military families returning to the United States as a result from the application of the Torrijos Carter Canal Treaties.
Garcia suggested former December's children vocalist Rolando de León to join the project as a guitarist while Swaney invited guitarist Edward "Eddie" Rice to join as second guitarist. Rice came from "Legend", another prominent group from the Canal Zone which alto separate for the same reasons than the members of "Magic".
After considering names as distant as "Blitzkrieg" and "Ordinary People", the group settled on "Pair-a-Dice", a combination of two-way terms, proposed by Swaney, who in a dream saw a "pair of dices rolling in paradise." The group established its headquarters in the area of Amador and were gradually incorporating various elements of pop rock and hard rock into their repertoire, thanks mainly to the versatility of Rice as a guitarist. With the addition of more complex issues was clear that Swaney was quite limited as main vocalist so de León suggested inviting vocalist Ana Cecilia de Roux to join the band. The first version of the group made its debut at the Club Unión in July, 1983.
The band took up residence in the area of the Panama Canal Zone where he remained constantly present in various events and concerts until May 1984, including the opening of the famous disco "Bacchus" in late 1983. During this period the first relay of the group was made when Garcia left for personal issues and, by Rice and Sweeney's suggestion, they decided to invite bassist Juan Octavio Diaz from "Problem", who at the time had been assisting the band in their presentations. Diaz made his debut with the group in a concert at the Gatun Yacht Club in January 1984.
By May 1984 the group decided to take a break after several months of work where Sweeney announced his transfer to the United States and his consequent resignation from the group. Diaz suggests to invite drummer Jorge "Tercero" Loaiza from "Hemispheres", a Rush tribute project he shared with Diaz. At the same time, De Roux, who also shared roles as keyboardist occasionally, suggested the addition of veteran musician Alvaro "Coke" Gómez of Panama's supergroup "System" who incorporate key musical elements that were absent from the group's repertoire.
In June 1984, while the group was on a break, promoter José Ramón García de Paredes contacted de León to announce the arrival in Panama of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and needed a band to open the concert. García de Paredes originally suggested December's Children, but in the absence of two of its key members, de León proposed Pair-a-Dice as an alternative and thus expose the group to the audience in Panama City. De León immediately proceeded to contact all members of the group, with the painful exception of Rice, which was impossible to locate at that time. Faced with such urgency and with the proximity of the event, Gómez suggested contacting his musical partner and "System" guitarist, Santiago "Chago" Rodriguez, to replace Rice.
With the alignment of Díaz. Loaiza, De Roux, Rodríguez, de León and Gómez, and establishing its headquarters in the residence of the de León family, the group made his debut for the first time in the newly open disco "Magic" that would become his exclusive sanctuary for ten years, with the support of manager Moisés "Monchi" Angel. With the addition of Gómez, who also took over as musical director, the group expanded its repertoire with more elaborate versions of current and classic pop and rock hits. In August the opened the show for Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and began a permanent stay in "Magic", abandoning the scenarios of the Canal Zone for good.
By the end of 1984 it was clear that the constant commitment of the group presentations reached a limit to De Roux as a singer, so she announced her definitive retirement from the group but allowing the band to start a difficult search for a replacement. After listening to suggestions and even establish conversations with other prospects, including stars like Paulette Thomas, Pair-a-Dice decides to try its luck with Maria Gabriela "Gaby" Gnazzo, who came from the women's group "Ellas" and was discovered by Diaz after seeing a presentation at the Universidad Santa María La Antigua. With only 16 years old, Gaby, with her mother and sisters, made her audition at the band's headquarters and immediately became the new lead singer, making his debut at "Magic" a week later.
In early 1985, Gómez announced his departure to continue their studies in medicine outside of Panama, forcing the group to seek a replacement. "Pair-a-Dice" decided to invite keyboardist Luis "Punky" Guinard, who came from the group "Horizon" and at his young age enjoyed a considerable experience to assume his new responsibilities. Given these circumstances and especially with the departure of Gómez, Rodríguez announced his desire to explore new challenges as a musician and submit his resignation to the group, who had no doubt to incorporate into its ranks former guitarist and vocalist Juan Carlos Nuñez from "Sabotage", a "power trio" hard rock group, with whom the group has maintained a close relation and friendship.
With this addition, the new alignment known as the "classic" version, the group began experimenting with a harder sound, much closer to the one originally adopted in back in 1983. Weekly presentations at "Magic" became more frequent and the group is invited to participate as the opening act for "Quiet Riot" in the month of May and multiple events at the Colegio La Salle, Coronado Beach, Super Centro El Dorado, the USMA Gymnasium, many of them joining forces with mobile disco "Truenos y Relámpagos" (Thunder and Lightning). For the month of August they group was invited to participate in two concerts as support group to teen sensation "Menudo" at Gimnasio Nuevo Panamá and the Club Unión.
By 1986 the group was at its best and was invited again to participate in major events as the opening act of the group "Black 'n' Blue" at Atlapa Convention Center and several private schools festivals like María Immaculada and La Salle high schools. That same year the group decided to experiment for the first time with original compositions and recorded its first single, "Heartache", written by de León and Gnazzo and mixed at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida. In later sessions, the group recorded the original song "Apocalypse", composed by Díaz, Guinard and Nuñez, plus the classic version of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, one of the most requested songs by the group. From the writing sessions the tracks "Song for Johnny" and "Foreign Affairs" were added but never recorded but performed live al "Magic". The latter tune would be reflected years later on the version of Tierra de Nadie's "Pisa y Corre."
The constant commitment of the group caused the temporary removal of Guinard later that year, who was replaced by Ricardo "Ricky" Vásquez. The group continued its journey with presentations at Coronado Beach and with the Board of "Tropical Carnival" in late 1986, as well as supporting the hit single "Heartache" on the radio. Guinard rejoined the group in 1987.
By mid-1987 it was clear that, because of the constants presentations and internal tensions among group members, they needed a break. The deepening political crisis in Panama and the subsequent departure of de León to the United States, made the group disappear from public view for a few months. It was not until the summer of 1988, at the suggestion of "Monchi" Angel of Magic, that an attempt to bring the group back to the scene took place. At that time an alignment formed by Nuñez, Guinard and Gnazzo started performing in "Magic" without using the name of "Pair-a-Dice" with drummer Osvaldo Jorge, bassist Mario "Mayito" Grisolía and guitarist Diego de León.
Later that year they decide to revive the group with the addition of Díaz, and try to revive the classic alignment, with the exception of Diego de León who took the place of his brother Rolando, and jorge, who replaced Loaiza.
By the end of 1988 the group decided to part ways after a concert in ATLAPA in December, causing Nuñez, Díaz and Guinard to take a different direction with the creation of the group "Tierra de Nadie", incorporating material in Spanish, a style that Pair-a-Dice had not experienced before. Gnazzo decided to start her solo career recording the song "Cupid" featuring Nuñez and Yigo Sugasti, which was never released because the original tapes were destroyed by a flood at the studies of renowned musician "Toby" Muñoz.
Not until 1993 when the group decides to rejoin under its classic lineup, appearing continuously since then at various scenarios sporadically until today. In 2011, the group made an incredible comeback to the musical scene opening for Journey in March and later for Aerosmith in November.
As of today the band is still entertaining their fan base with several gigs all around Panama City and they are exploring the possibility of working with new material and returning to the studio for the first time since 1986.

There's a Japanese phrase I like "Pair Look", which is a kind of lightly derogatory but fun way of referring to people like this.
