 CHAPTERS and MOREJul 12, 2007
By Howard Johnson
Meet Gastón and Mariela, two of the most casual, cool, unstructured tango instructors. They have perfected the art of showing the essentials. What really matters to to them is that you learn the moves, the figures, the steps without having to worry somuch about the way your hair looks or where did you buy or how much you paid for that pair of shoes or a fancy skirt.
Beautifully captures at Tango Brujo's dance floor in Buenos Aires, this first volume on a series is aimed at the novice, the men and women who always wanted to learn but never got around to Tango. This is the time, and Gastón and Mariela are going to guide you through the basics: El Abrazo, La Caminata, El Ocho and El sanguchito, basic concepts of this wonderful dance that has the World on it's feet.
Gaston and Mariela, accomplished tango dancers and teachers from Buenos Aires, we'll help you through the basic notions and movements so you too can learn how to dance the tango. It takes two to tango, and just one DVD, this is it!

Easy to learnAug 23, 2007
By D. C. Leskovsky
Great DVD! The lessons are complete and done very slowly - first they go over the man's steps, then the woman's. Great video for the beginner. Glad we purchased it, my husband and I have had a great time learning together!

 Star Trek TangoMar 25, 2008
By Alan R. Tower
There are some interesting oddities in this video. First, they take you shopping. I'm pretty expert at that; I don't need lessons. Second, in the first few scenes, the dancers materialize on set in Star Trek fashion. It's comical. Third, the girl with the extremely green eyes and low cut dress on the DVD box is not in the DVD at all.
However, despite this, I gave it a somewhat positive rating because the dancers are clear, they have a good style, and they cover most of the basics that can be expected in a beginning tango dvd. The woman is not very verbal, but the man is quite clear in his explanations and demonstrates a very strong lead. The dancing is very competent and they show tango well in classic Argentine style. Though there are a couple of video tricks that amuse, there is generally good, well lit photography and from angles that make it easy to learn.
I would buy it again, even knowing the limitations.

TANGO STEPSJun 24, 2007
By Dopela
"Morgan Taylor"
The Best so far. I found truly instructional and revolutionary the approach to Tango lessons on this DVD. Particularly the graphics and animations showing the steps one by one in full detail. Another cool point in favor of this particular DVD is the easy going nature of the tango instructors, Gaston and... well I can't remember her name of the top of my head, but really cool. I'm planning a trip to Buenos Aires in September and I'm gonna look for this Tango Brujo Academy, it sounds good.
