An easy & quick read explaining the pleasures, approach to leadership and benefits of Argentine tango from Elena's perspective. I would like to humbly approach this review as writing a book and getting it published is not easy. The book gives some basic history and also lists some of the most important traditional orchestras. It has a nice glossary of terms at the end of the book. I'm not sure the title fits perfectly with the book? Don't expect this book to give a leader an in-depth comprehensive understanding of how to lead Argentine tango, but it does provide some insight & pearls of wisdom. Her school does sound wonderful, though and the students in her area are fortunate to have such a caring, well balanced, and talented instructor. I would love to take lessons from her, and would love to see a second edition to this book providing more detail about the title of the book with the assistance of a professional editor.
I checked this book out for free from the "Kindle Users Library". If I had paid for it I would be complaining to to get my money back. I have been dancing tango for 16 years and I would really love if there were more great books teaching people about tango. More people need to know about this wonderful dance, but this book is NOT the answer. This book was written by someone with a marginal grasp of the English language and is riddled with errors and awkward language. Additionally it skips from topic to topic with no cohesion, barely scratching the surface of this fascinating topic. I shudder to think of the impression that someone who knows nothing about tango would take away from this book. Tango is difficult enough to learn with a competent teacher in person, learning about it from a poorly written book serves more to frustrate the first timer than to impart any real knowledge about the dance. I would urge anyone with an interest in this wonderful dance to find a class in their city and learn from a professional.
What an interesting read. I find it rather unique to have two "sides" of the tango represented in two different volumes: Leaders and Followers. Very interesting perspective.
What is there to say about a book that teaches the most romantic dance on the planet?Two BIG thumbs up!
