[Gary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this book years back as a beginner hobbyist tango dancer as a way of better understanding the mindset, culture and training regimen of dedicated dancers. I found it helpful, insightful, positive and realistic. While not specifically 'tango' almost everything mentioned was appropriate. The book was a bit more oriented towards ballet as one might expect, but not overpowering. Since there wasn't a review, I thought I'd give it some recognition.
