If you are taking tango lessons, this video can be very helpful to show some of the basic tango moves in a very straight forward fashion. This is best used as a supplementary guide outside the studio for couples or individuals to practice. It features 4 different tango steps, all pretty basic but what's good is that they show you how to thread the steps together. What's missing is hints on how to lead & follow but I suppose that can come only through personal instruction & not by verbal instruction or visual demonstration. Bar that, this video gets you started on your way.

I bought several of Vicki Regon's tapes. She seems to be a very fun teacher and very good dancer. But the instructions are too slow-paced. There are a lot of repeats which are not necessary for DVDs and video tapes. With only 4 or 5 steps taught in each tape, if you are a beginner, I doubt "you can dance" comfortbly on the floor after you've learned from those tapes. In terms of steps per dollar, you can find much better deals on market than this series.

I bought 3 tapes from this instructor (Swing, Tango, Foxtrot) and found the steps are pretty basic. I doubt you can dance Tango and Foxtrot this way in social dancing due to the progressive nature of these dances (meaning going counter clock wise around the dance floor like Waltz).
I have learned ballroom dancing from many other tapes and virtually able to use most of the moves on the dance floor, but not these, except a few basic move in the Swing tape . Maybe it's just me. For 20$ a tape, it's a lot more expensive than what I pay for other instructional tapes.

This video teaches ballroom tango, which does not look like or sound like or has anything in common with real Argentine tango. Don't be confused by ballroom teachers who don't know the difference.

My parents, who can't dance at all, wanted to learn to tango. To my amazement, and theirs, thay were able to learn using this dvd. They will be tangoing at their upcoming 50th anniversary, and they'll look good doing it! Amazing.

This helped me and my fiance prep for our dancing lessons. It ended up saving us a ton because we had the basic steps down. I love it and dancing with him was fun, buy it and a few dollars you can't beat that.

Vicki Regan DVD'S are the absolute best in dance instruction, you will go from wallflower to dancer in just a few days practice. She has many different dance tapes, I think I have them all.

very pleased with prompt sending of the DVD. The instructions are very good and easy to follow.

This DVD is just like having a teacher with you...its a great teacher!
