From the backstreets of Buenos Aires to Parisian high society, this is the extraordinary story of the dance that captivated the world - a tale of politics and passion, immigration and romance.
'As neat and comprehensive an account of both Tango history and technique as you could possibly want in one place. Fascinating, fun and very deftly done.' - Donald Hutera, dance critic for The Times
The Meaning of Tango traces the roots of this captivating dance, from its birth in poverty-stricken Buenos Aires, the craze of the early twentieth century, right up until its revival today, thanks to shows such as Strictly Come Dancing. This book offers history, knowledge, teachings and insights which makes it valuable for beginners, yet its in-depth analysis makes it essential for experienced dancers. It is an elegant and cohesive critique of the fascinating tale of the Tango, which not only documents its culture and politics, but is also a fantastically useful guide to the techniques.
Christine Denniston is one of the World's leading experts on the teaching and practise of Tango, and has taught the dance on five continents since 1993. She contributes to the websites totaltango.com and history-of-tango.com.
