You Can Dance - Tango
from Kultur
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
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. 60 minutes.
