This book has proved so popular that it has now been published in its second, revised and expanded edition. There are now 260 pages and 133 illustrations. Three new chapters enhance the value. One is on considerations of the Axis, one about Tango Zen and a third is about the author's experiences of a trip to Buenos Aires in 2005.
What you get is the most readable, comprehensive dissection of Tango, as danced socially all over the world. The author has a clear grasp of what works and what doesn't, with explanations drawn from his own experiences as a student of numerous teaching styles. Of all the books about Tango, this is the one that helps.
This book may yield many useful insights for experienced dancers, but certainly deserves a place on the passionate beginner’s bookshelf. -- Marie Morrin Tango Times Dublin
