| The most passionate and dramatic of ballroom dances is the Tango. It originated in Argentina and became popular in the US in the 1920s. The Tango doesn't need words. You communicate with your eyes and your body. Dramatic music, dramatic movements make up the fiery Tango! Vicki Regan teaches dancing the way she learned, step by step, one move at a time. Everything is carefully explained and demonstrated for both men and women. You'll start with the basics, then work your way up to combinations and moves that are easy to learn, but are very impressive on the dance floor. You'll learn in your own home, at your own convenience, and at your own pace. If you didn't learn a step perfectly the first time simply rewind the tape. You can practice alone, with a partner, or invite a group of friends. It's good exercise and great fun. If you're a beginner, ten minutes into this tape you'll be saying, "I can dance!" Vicki Regan has danced on Broadway and in the movies, and was National and North American Ballroom and Latin Dance Champion. She has taught many people including other dance teachers and ballroom competitors. Ron De Vito, Vicki's teaching partner, is also an acclaimed Broadway dancer and a former National Ballroom Champion. |
| Broadway dancers and ballroom champions Vicki Regan and Ron De Vito teach the dramatic, sensual tango step-by-step in this one-hour, slow-paced, introductory video. "The characteristic cat-like walk is what makes the tango so recognizably different," explains Regan, who teaches the tango walk (the cat- like move) and tango close first, so you get the flavor of the dance immediately. Next they teach the promenade walk, corte, and tango rocks. Each step is taught slowly and clearly, with enough repetition and review so you feel confident dancing each individually and in combination. After each section, you practice with the instructors to music. Regan and De Vito are not just beautiful dancers--they're skilled, gentle instructors who will make you feel comfortable on the dance floor. This is a splendid introduction to tango. --Joan Price |

| This helped me and my fiance prep for our dancing lessons. It ended up saving us a ton because we had the basic steps down. I love it and dancing with him was fun, buy it and a few dollars you can't beat that. |
| My parents, who can't dance at all, wanted to learn to tango. To my amazement, and theirs, thay were able to learn using this dvd. They will be tangoing at their upcoming 50th anniversary, and they'll look good doing it! Amazing. |
| This DVD is just like having a teacher with you...its a great teacher! |
| I bought several of Vicki Regon's tapes. She seems to be a very fun teacher and very good dancer. But the instructions are too slow-paced. There are a lot of repeats which are not necessary for DVDs and video tapes. With only 4 or 5 steps taught in each tape, if you are a beginner, I doubt "you can dance" comfortbly on the floor after you've learned from those tapes. In terms of steps per dollar, you can find much better deals on market than this series. |
I bought 3 tapes from this instructor (Swing, Tango, Foxtrot) and found the steps are pretty basic. I doubt you can dance Tango and Foxtrot this way in social dancing due to the progressive nature of these dances (meaning going counter clock wise around the dance floor like Waltz).
I have learned ballroom dancing from many other tapes and virtually able to use most of the moves on the dance floor, but not these, except a few basic move in the Swing tape . Maybe it's just me. For 20$ a tape, it's a lot more expensive than what I pay for other instructional tapes. |
