Cal Pozo's Learn to Dance in Minutes - Tango Passion [VHS]

A great mix of styles and a super teacher
I watched this tape through first and thought, I'll never be able to do all those steps. Well, with time and practice, my husband and I are learning to love the tango.The class is broken into three segments, with four moves each. The first two segments can be danced separately or together. The final "movie moves" segment is full of fun stuff to fool around with. Cal and his partner demonstrate the steps separately and together.We've tried the sequences with various tangoes and they work so well! It is a great deal of fun and very romantic, once you know what you are doing.A couple of the reviewers say that this is not true Argentine Tango. True, but that's not the only style there is. Cal says right up front that what he is teaching is a combination of three different tango styles. This is obviously not a tape for a competitive ballroom dancer who wants to learn only "official" moves. It's a tape for folks who just want to have a good time and get some experience with the form.Now I've ordered some "heavy duty" tango DVD's from Amazon. Cal's given us the confidence to want to continue.

Popular in Turkey
Maybe this video is popular in Turkey, but let's be honest. This is not what I call tango. It's some Hollywood or ballroom charicature of it. Por favor, come to Argentina to see the real thing.

Not really tango
This video does not teach real tango, but some Hollywood version or ballroom staff. The real tango is not what you see here. You must see tango from Argentina to know what real tango is. The real tango dance and real tango music.

Impossible to learn in minutes
The title of this videos says "learn to dance in minutes - tango passion". Not a chance. You can't learn to dance real Tango in minutes. Besides, this video teaches ballroom tango, which is not real tango. Real tango is Argentinean tango, and it takes months to learn to dance it properly.

Passion it is and easy to learn too.
The best dance instruction video I've ever seen.
