A Passion for Tango is a unique analysis of the logic and philosphy that underlines Tango. It has been written from the perspective of a learner's journey through experiences both in classes and on the social dancefloor. It deals with the history of Tango, the different schools of thought behind the teaching, leading and following, the connection between the partners, the embrace and its variations. Other chapters deal with the walk, concepts of linear and circular movements, navigation and endings as well as the expected explanation of ochos, giros, ganchos, sacadas, barridas, etc. While not being a teaching book as such, it has much to offer the newcomer to Tango while sharing many insights with the established dancer. The book's inspiration is the Argentine teacher Rodolfo 'el chino' Aguerrodi who writes a prologue in Spanish and English.

We are pleased to say that the first edition of A Passion for Tango is sold out and has been superceded by a revised and expanded second edition. It has three new chapters dealing with matters relating to the axis, Tango Zen and a useful account of the author's trip to Buenos Aires. It is selling well and, if you are looking for it, the ISBN ends in 18 instead of 0X
