This is a great introduction to American style tango. Nearly two hours in length, this DVD continues the tradition of The Dance Store of offering twice the content of competitive offerings. This DVD shows fifteen figures and many combinations. In addition, we show how to navigate the dance floor and how to chain figures together to create routines. John and Phyllis are great instructors. This DVD shows all of the essential core figures of American style tango, but it goes on to show cool and fun moves. This product has broadcast quality video with stereo CD-quality sound. All steps are numbered and titled and the DVD navigation menu takes you exactly to the start of each figure. This way, you can quickly and easily skip to any figure you desire. No prior dance experience is required. This DVD is fully suitable for a complete beginner.
