The Ultimate Argentine Tango DVD Collection!
This 9 volume video/DVD series bridges the worlds of Ballroom and Argentine Tango offering a wealth of figures, technique and styling. The series begins with Argentine Tango Syllabus Volumes I, II and III, which take you step by step through a broad spectrum of figures incorporating all the major elements of the dance such as Ochos, Molinetes, Boleos, Ganchos, Barridas, Paradas, Media Vuelta, Cadena, Calecita, Carpa, Vocadas, Colgadas and many types of Sacadas. The method includes splicing these figures together in an improvisational format to create a new dance every time you step onto the dance floor.

Christy and George?s teaching is clear and precise and their dancing is exquisite. The instruction is completely in English and is professionally produced in an organized one-on-one format like a private lesson, making this Dance Vision Video/DVD clear and easy to comprehend.

This collection is highly recommended for dancers taking up authentic Argentine Tango, as well as for experienced tango dancers as a refresher course.

All 45 figures (plus 9 variations) have been notated in the Argentine Tango Manual published by Dance Vision making it a handy tool to use in conjunction with these videos. Christy and George?s teaching is clear and precise, and their dancing is exquisite.

Have not had a chance to write up a review of your DVD lessons till now. First off - your DVD?s are first rate.
1. The fact that you and George speak clear fluent English can not be overlooked.
2. You are consistent in your descriptions of ?start at position 2?, 3, 4 etc. of the 8 count basic. Consistency is essential for a person learning something new.
3. The lighting is sufficient to see all movements.
4. The stage is large enough to show complete patterns.
5. The camera work did not focus primarily on your feet. This provided an opportunity to see the upper body leading and following which is missing from most tango videos and is actually the most important aspect.
6. You and George repeated the pattern from numerous positions which is very helpful.
7. Adding the counting especially in the Vals DVD was superior.
8. The choice of clothes helped visually to see your bodies clearly. (I know you have your own complaints about the choices of clothing they wanted you to wear)
9. There is an obvious chemistry between you and George that comes out that both of you are very nice people and are friends and like working with each other. Selecting George as your partner for the DVD?s helped make the total package.

We really love the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Argentine Tango. Wow! Christy and George look wonderful and their instruction is great. This is the best I have seen yet.

Hi Christy: Just to remind you, I obtained from you, a few months ago, seven of the nine videos, in DVD form, and the manual. Of the three basics, I have only the Bronze Syllabus. So far, I watched three of the DVD?s: The Bronze Syllabus, the Leader?s Technique, and the Follower?s Technique. You and George truly surpassed my expectations. The selection, organization, and delivery of the material, in tapes and the Manual, provide the first top quality instructional basis and continuing nutrition for those who have been touched by the beauty of the Argentine Tango.

The dvds of The Argentine Tango are indeed excellent being well produced and so clearly illustrated making learning such a joy. As stated before we are liking the dvds very much being the inspiration in our learning and understanding of this beautiful dance.
