If you’re a new Tango dancer or a teacher of new Tango dancers here is the information contained in one resource you have been waiting for to become successful in the sophisticated art of Tango! Learn various approaches to unravel and reduce choreography to its basic content. In Quickstart To Tango you will gain much information for the physical and mental philosophies of leading or following.

You have already been to classes and seminars rich in choreographical content but found that they did not explore or explain the fundamentals of the transitional movement. As a result, you were able to execute the choreography alone but your leading or following technique was all but non-existent.

Transitional movement and musicality are among the most difficult items to negotiate in Tango. There is no lack of description for the physical disposition or muscular hierarchy to partnered kinesiology in Quickstart To Tango. The ideas; physical, intellectual, and even emotional, presented in this text will translate to your successful ability in connecting the beautiful pictures of Tango choreography, musically, to each other.

The newest addition to the "Quickstart" Series is a 'how - to' of Argentine & American Tango. "Quickstart To Tango ©" contains Technique, Exercises, Choreography & Attitudes for Both Styles, as well as a History of Tango, A Collaboration by Jeff Allen and Daniel Trenner (founder of The Bridge To The Tango) on Tango's Social Development and a Conversation with Carlos Gavito from the Broadway Production of 'Forever Tango.'
