As the four times undefeated Argentine Tango World & European Supreme Champion, you would expect the author to know what he's talking about but this book makes you feel that he is with you as YOU discover the magic and feeling of the Tango for yourself. Everything becomes so clear. It has inspired me to get out there, take lessons and I'm having a wonderful time. Only now am I beginning to understand the care taken in bringing an understandable structure to this dance which so many others seem to lack. This structure allows the dancer to make rapid progress while fully enjoying the process. Brilliant !!!

This book has many figures in Argentine Tango dancing. The instructions are very easy to follow and the photos that go along with the instructions are well done. Not much detail is put into the instructions which allows this book to cover many figures superfically instead of a few figures in detail. Argentine Tango is a dance that almost certainly needs personal instruction but if you you to get a book this is a good one. This book would be great if you already know the basics or dancing such as frame, leading, following, etc. and want to add a few more moves to your routine

I continue to find this book to be a very useful to read at the same time as taking tango lessons. The problem with tango lessons is that it takes a very long to put together a complete set of moves to finish a complete dance, let alone a tanda. This book outlines a complete set of basic tango moves so that you can look ahead and know what to expect in a typical class. It also allows me to ask my teacher, when possible, to teach me a certain move that I believe that I need to naturally complete a dance.
