From the Actor

Blanche & Emilio Librero talk about their "How To Become A Good Dancer Series"

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not authentic, December 20, 2001

By A Customer

The title of this video mentions Argentine Tango. Unfortunately, what is being taught on this tape is not authentic Argentine Tango. Not even close. It's ballroom tango. There is a huge difference: in music, style, steps, posture, etc... Don't be fooled by ballroom instructors trying to teach Argentine Tango. The only authentic instruction available on the market comes from authentic Argentine instructors from Buenos Aires.

2.0 out of 5 stars Much ado about latin ballroom tango, January 16, 2002

By A Customer

This version of tango is not argentine. It is ballroom latin american whatever you call it. Very misleading to call it argentine tango. But if you like ballroom dancing, maybe this video is for you.
