Excellent DVDs that bury their real value under what is, frankly, very dull and mind-numbingly clear instruction - this is especially true if you watch the DVDs end to end and don't stop and work on each section before you go to the next one. It looks too easy, too dull, too zzzzzz....
But, here's the deal: Fabian and Cecilia - world class tango dancers - slow the "step lessons" way way way down so that you can see correct tango "form" in detail. To actually dance well, however, you have to do the exercises paired with the lessons and do them as you encounter them along the way. As he says, "Practice 20 minutes a day, for two days, before moving on to the next lesson."
Why? Because it's doing the exercises that then makes learning - and dancing - easy, interesting, and rewarding. This isn't very obvious to most of us - who aren't yet "great" dancers - but the exercises are on the DVDs for good reasons. And, each exercise relates directly to it's nearest lesson, or, "step/pattern." It's all about fundamentals. You know, those "positions" ballet dancers work on? They have something (everything) to do with what you later see on stage.
Seriously, Fabian barely mentions anything about leading or following, trusting you'll get the "feel" of what to do from the exercises. You'll need a partner and you'll need to practice both the exercises and the "steps" in the lessons many times. But, mostly practice the exercises they carefully pair with the lessons... Twenty minutes of "exercise" can save you a year of frustration.
