 Go to the profesionals leave this aloneJul 22, 2008
By Tango John
I realize I've only been do Argentine Tango for 7 years but have worked with many of the major instructors. This video is odd in so many ways. her Spanish is terrible, even for a Brit. The timing of the steps NEVER follows the beat, the woman does not maintain her own balance, the man has no core or chest lead. If you want the apilado style shown here find Carlos Gavito DVDs, if you want traditional get Fabian Salas, Osvaldo Zotto, "Mingo" Pugliese or his wife Esther with their son Pablo (and learn the proper standard sequence of a molinette turn as Mingo defined it). Pablo Veron, Favbian Salas. and Gustavo Naviera are all on tour this year. Find anyone who has had more than two lessons from these maestros and you will far better off than wasting your cash on this DVD.

 This DVD gets the steps rightSep 08, 2007
By Jayson David

Regardless if you're an experienced Argentine tango dancer or just looking to get started on this most exciting dance, then this DVD is for you. I've tried some tapes in the past which mostly concentrate on the "leaders" part but hardly anything is included for the partner. Not so with Marie Claude Martin's presentation. Both positions and foot work are clearly defined from multiple camera angles, giving the viewer an almost "classroom" experience. If you come across a step which bears a repeat or two, just set your player's A-B to the section you wish and practice till it flows normally.
If you are in need of some excellent music, check out the latest CD from the Gotan Project. They are to Argentine tango what Luis Miguel is to the Bolero. Enjoy :)

Possibly the worst dance video ever madeOct 05, 2008
By Phillip I. Good
Dancing is all about rhythm. On this video, the nearly inaudible music lacks a definite beat; worse, the timing of the steps as ennuncinated in a monotone by the narrator NEVER follows any particular beat. There is no joy here.
The few French subtitles are frequently in error

Excellent for beginners. Clear voice description and different camera views make each step very easy to follow.

Don't bother with this oneDec 23, 2010
By JSN
After studying partner dancing for 10 years , and Tango for only 3 years over 5 years with over 25 teachers in 3 countries - most of them trained in Argentina or with Argentinean teachers and experienced tangueros , I previewed this video out of curiosity. I sense that it is very badly put together. Very poorly organized. The steps are not in synch with the music. Christy Coté and George Garcia series (published by Dancevision) is BY FAR the best I have seen and used in the English language. There are of course also many other videos in Spanish that can / must be viewed as they can be extremely meaningful and useful to Tangueros . Don't waste your time or money buying this one.
