Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very disappointing
Review: Each chapter is more promise, but no delivery. The book reads like a first draft that was phoned in to the publisher. Is full of mistakes about the history of tango.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Couldn't be worse...
Review: I bought this book on the strength of the first two 5 star reviews. I'm sorry I did. I should have listened to the two succeeding one star reviews. The writing (and tranlation) is embarrassingly bad, full of mistakes and useless pseudoscientific nonsense. What I don't understand is why the Dinzels, who I understand are highly reputed worldwide as dancers, would turn out such junk?

I thought I could at least get something out of the chapter on the history of Tango, but if even this chapter is full of mistakes like the other reviewer wrote, then the book has been a complete waste of time and money.

This is the first time I've written a highly critical review. I've chosen to do so at this time from an overwhelming sense of outrage...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointed
Review: I started to read andI thought that it was something professionally written. I've been dancing for 15 years and I found tons of mistakes on this poorly written book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fast success
Review: I'm a tango teacher. I've being teaching tango for 15 years and all my tango students are very happy with this book. From beginners first class to my most advance students.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Amaze
Review: The inconsistency of this book is amazing. It opposes any serious book written about the Argentine tango that I have encounter. I have found that in the introduction tango is presented as a free dance, and after that it comes chapter after chapter with non sense phrases, about how you should feel and all that...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For Tango Physics
Review: This book is excellent for those who wish to really understand the physics involved in the dance - the relationship between the leader and the follower. It doesn't waste space trying to teach you figures, nor does it cover music. It is focused and precise on teaching you exactly how to hold yourself and your partner when you dance tango. I highly recommend it for intermediate and advanced dancers.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wasted money
Review: When I first read the other reviews I thought it was a bashing of the competitors, but I got it and I have wasted my money.
