Recently, Argentine tango has witnessed a wide resurgence in popularity. Now it seems that everyone wants to learn this intricate dance. In Paul Pellicoro on Tango, all the elements you need to learn the dance are included, and illustrations make it easy to understand.

Paul Pellicoro is a master of Argentine tango and is renowned for his dance work with film and stage actors. He has single-handedly revived interest in Argentine tango in the U.S. He is the owner of DanceSport, the largest dance studio in New York City. www.dancesport.com
