Re: [Tango-L] Bridge to the Tango
The only tango instructional DVDs I recommend are Un Tal Gavito There are 3 in the series. Well worth getting. I'm sure everyone out there has their own favorite.

Re: [Tango-L] Bridge to the Tango
Instructional videos are a bit of a fraught issue. When my wife and I were in BsAs last year, Aurora Lubiz recommended that we buy the 'Tango Baile Nuestro' documentary for the scenes of 70s milonga dancing in that movie. I asked for it in every tango shop that I went into but no one had it. Being Argentinean however they never admit that they don't have something, but always bring out something else which they try and sell you instead (how I love the people there!). In most cases it was instructional videos and I remember at Tango Brujo the sales assistant, a very attractive young portena dancer, brought out a 'learn tango in 12 lessons' by Copes. As soon as she said the title however a smile spread across her face and she said something like 'yes tango is very easy if you can learn it in 12 lessons'. We both burst out laughing. Anyway, I found the below videos with Fabian Salas and Cecilia Gonzales useful, at least for relative beginners and I am sure they are readily avai! lable which is a plus: http://www.cosmotango.com/TDvideos.htm Victor Bennetts The only tango instructional DVDs I recommend are Un Tal Gavito There are 3 in the series.

Re: [Tango-L] Bridge to the Tango
Daniel Trenner and crew really knew what they were doing with Bridge to the Tango. I wish they were still available. All of the followers technique videos are priceless. I think there were three. I think all followers should have a copy. These five are great on video and beyond genius in person: Brooke Burdett Daniel Trenner Luciana Valle Rebecca Schulman Sharna Fabiano The rest of these are, also, incredible: Jose Garafolo Omar Vega Some of Fernanda Ghi and Guillermo Merlo Carolina Zkalski and Diego Di Falco (especially the waltz figures) El Pulpo I don't remember his full name, was it Zotto and Carolina? Anyway, it took me a bit to understand what Zotto was doing. I thought it was she who was so good (and she is!). Then, my parnter told me to go back and watch how he lead her. I am sooo glad she said that! He shows the way to setup your follower in various positions related to your body and in conjunction with the music. Study Zotto and dance to D'Arienzo!!! That man's lead is clean! Although I've never seen any of his videos, I have taken a lot of workshops with Fabian Salas. I have to believe that his videos must be great. Even though I had workshops and 6-week classes over and over again with most of the people on this list, I can still go to their videos and, in most any section, refresh my memory or cleanup my technique. But, where in the world are you going to find these videos? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd like to hear from someone who has experience with the Bridge to the Tango CDs/DVDs.? What are the five tapes you would recommend most for an intermediate/advanced dancer? And, what are the five tapes you would *NOT* recommend? I purchased a couple of these things a few years back and I found the quality was uneven.? The milonga was a style that is not common in either Buenos Aires or Portland, for example.
