From the Actor

We have been teaching at our own dance school in Tampa and producing instructional videos since 1979. The new "How To Become A Good Dancer" series is the result of years of experience in helping people discover the fun of dancing.

We have researched and selected all the most popular and requested dances from all over the country and divided them into two complete home study courses:
"Big Band, Swing & Nightclub Dancing"
"Latin Dancing & Argentine Tango"

Our courses provide the solutions to the three most basic problems people face when wanting to learn to dance:
1)Wanting to dance but unsure of which dance they want to learn or what’s available.
2)Unsure of what music goes with which dance and where to find it.
3)Having a way to remember the steps when they are out on the dance floor.

Each one of our courses comes with:
1)An instructional video on the seven most popular dances for each particular style.
2)A practice music CD with two perfect tempo songs for each of the seven dances covered in the video.
3)A set of handy, quick-reference Cue Cards.

The quality of production is excellent, and the package design is compact and attractive. The courses are convenient and easy to follow. They are ideal for today’s busy people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Learning to Dance, November 25, 2000

This review is from: Big Band, Swing & Nightclub Dancing (How To Become a Good Dancer) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After receiving both of the Librero's tapes (The Big Band Swing and The Latin and Argentine Tango) as a gift, my husband and I cannot believe how easy it has been to learn to dance from them. Neither of us were dancers and Blanche and Emilio have made it fun and very simple for us to learn. Now we can dance all of the dances that we always wanted to, plus have a good time practicing with our friends. We also enjoy the music CDs that were part of the package, as well as the cue cards.

The Librero "Big Band, Swing and Nightclub Dancing" is indeed a complete course and is very easy to learn to dance from. The music CD is perfect and allows you to dance continuously. It has two selections for each of the dances covered by the VHS video. Plus, there is also a pack of cards showing the complete footwork for each dance.

I and my friends are having a great time learning to dance using the Librero course. I'll buy their other courses, too.

We received Librero's tape and were surprised how easy and complete the instruction were. It is a pleasure to see a more mature couple teaching in a manner that is both comprehensive and easy to understand. The tape supplies the right amount of information so that the novice can easily learn the basics moves. This tape will allow you to feel confident and look good on the dance floor. We highly recommend this to (the mature) beginner, or to anyone that needs a brush-up on the standard techniques.
