2.0 out of 5 stars Satisfy the desire, January 16, 2002

By A Customer

I get no satisfaction when watching this video. It is very polished and choreographed. But too much make-up, if you know what I mean. Too artistic and orchestrated. Not many real people dance like that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passionate and Fulfilling, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

If you follow the careers of Carlos and Alicia, the video's elegant and talented instructors, you know them to be two of Argentina's most renowned tango dancers. I have seen their grace and beauty on stage AND in the wonderful Milongas of Buenos Aires. They are truly dancers for and of the people. Tango the Seduction is a wonderful invitation to their world. The foundation you get from these videos is a much-needed step in transitioning into the world of the Milonga. If you want to better your tango, these are the only videos that will bring you closest to the authentic tango of Argentina (unless you actually go there, which I highly recommend.)

2.0 out of 5 stars To the right or to the left, August 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tango the Seduction - Level 4 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is all about memorizing specific steps. For example, it teaches "an intricate turning sequence to the right and left". Well, what if I wanted to do it first to the left and then to the right. Is it possible? Basically speaking, this video teaches the old-fashioned way - memorize these steps with these names, and then if you want more steps, we'll make another video. How about teaching tango as an improvisational dance, which it really is, and teaching the universal lead and follow technique, with some basic concepts that will allow anybody to just dance with anybody.
