Popular Editorial Review
"The Meaning of Tango: The Story of the Argentinian Dance" is an informative book that provides historical and cultural context to the development and present-day uses of Argentine Tango. The book explains the origins of Tango behaviors that dancers need to understand before learning the dance. The author has a profound understanding of the Tango, which is quite rare for a foreigner, and the book does an excellent job of explaining how immigration and various cultural and social forces influenced the development of Tango. The technique section focuses on how to maintain an emotional connection between partners throughout the dance. It explains the posture to create a smoother, more fluid style that is pleasing for both partners. This book is an ideal reference guidebook on Tango at a reasonable price.
