I guess I don’t see anything wrong with the dancing. Spanish dancers move like this and isn’t Maxima from Argentina. Many Spanish roots and tango is huge there. She has the rhythm, why not dance! I do like her and as someone else mentioned I’d love to meet her and drink a beer with her. Her or Camilla! Haha

Thanks for sharing . Maxima is a great dancer! Go girl, you got the moves. Max seems fun and of all the royalty or public figures out there she would be the one I would pick to hang out with. Never a dull moment. I second that. However I can see that there may be mixed feelings about it. I'm sure WA has nothing against it, but seeing the video the Dutch grey men surely think that it's too sexy etc. They wouldn't be the only ones, that was a really awkward video to watch, much too much Max! Not appropriate, especially on an official visit, I don't know what she was thinking (or drinking?)  I love Maxima and her personality, but imo this time she crossed an important line between effervescence and inappropriateness. First of all, it wasn't an official visit. It was apparently a private event, among others to remember the fact they (WA & Max) met each other in Sevilla about 20 years ago. They seem to have said yes to parties from local aristocrats and upper class, in some cases you can wonder about that (and what kind of vibe it gives). Second Maxima showed off dancing at official events and was praised for it. For example during a visit of Beatrix (then still queen), WA and Max to the Dutch Caribbean. Heck in one of the first clips the Dutchies ever saw of Maxima, she was dancing and having fun (smoking, drinking etc.) at a wedding in Argentina.

I would hope that this turns out to be nothing.

I don't think her dance moves and rythem was, what caused the ..hem unease, but her casual attitude with the other dancers, the way he touched her, the way he summoned another dancer from the crowd to take over from him and who immediately without any response from her started dancing and touching her. Had those partners been friends of the royal couple at a private party, and had we seen Wimlex dancing or chatting with eg. the wife of Maxima's Dance Partner, I believe everybody would have applauded her dancing and having a good time. But she looked like she was alone, pretty oblivious to the rather leery behaviour of the others and IMO a tad "out of" (as in had a glas or a sniff too much).
