Good for beginning dancers and good review for advanced ones, February 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cal Pozo's Learn to Dance in Minutes - Tango Passion [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The tape is very easy to learn from for someone that has never danced tango before. The instructor and follower shows the steps alone and together.(which I found is easier for beginners to learn from) It is a very good but slow review for more advanced dancer. There is some "flashy" steps at the end that can spice up the basic moves that are shown at the first half of the tape. The very beginning shows a dance routine to demonstrate what can be done with a Tango even though the more flashy steps are not taught in the video. Which is disapponting for the more advanced dancer but one can review the tape and disect the steps. I don't recommended this for someone that has no patients. Over all it is a very good tape for beginners but a little slow for more advanced. I give it 4 stars for beginners and as a review for advanced dancers.

A great mix of styles and a super teacher, September 7, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Cal Pozo's Learn to Dance in Minutes - Tango Passion [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I watched this tape through first and thought, I'll never be able to do all those steps. Well, with time and practice, my husband and I are learning to love the tango.
The class is broken into three segments, with four moves each. The first two segments can be danced separately or together. The final "movie moves" segment is full of fun stuff to fool around with. Cal and his partner demonstrate the steps separately and together.
We've tried the sequences with various tangoes and they work so well! It is a great deal of fun and very romantic, once you know what you are doing.
A couple of the reviewers say that this is not true Argentine Tango. True, but that's not the only style there is. Cal says right up front that what he is teaching is a combination of three different tango styles. This is obviously not a tape for a competitive ballroom dancer who wants to learn only "official" moves. It's a tape for folks who just want to have a good time and get some experience with the form.
Now I've ordered some "heavy duty" tango DVD's from Amazon. Cal's given us the confidence to want to continue.

Popular in Turkey, January 16, 2002

Maybe this video is popular in Turkey, but let's be honest. This is not what I call tango. It's some Hollywood or ballroom charicature of it. Por favor, come to Argentina to see the real thing.
