Product Description: The tango and waltz are two of the most romantic ballroom dances, always popular, especially for weddings. Nancy Hays and Greg Gale show you how to hold your own on the dance floor, even if you've never danced before. For each dance, you learn the basic step, plus enough additional moves to look good on the dance floor. Gale is a competent instructor, teaching slowly, systematically, and seriously. The camera shoots close-ups of the footwork most of the time, so you can follow easily. Hays, Gale's partner, is a professional singer, and at the end of each segment, you get the pleasure of hearing her sing several songs with the Bobby Benson Orchestra to a ballroom full of dancers. You'll get a good introduction to both tango and waltz in this 50-minute video. --Joan Price


Customer Reviews


2 stars Tango and Waltz do not mix
This video mixes two very different dances. Tango is so different from waltz that it should be in a separate video. Additionally, the tango here is of the ballroom variety, which looks and sounds nothing like the authentic Argentine Tango.


4 stars Clear instruction for beginners
The instructor starts out showing the man's steps using a waist down camera angle. You get a great shot of the step patterns. Then they add the woman's footwork and finally, full body shots so you can see the whole dance. This technique is quite easy to follow with clear verbal instructions. Only four beginning steps are covered for Walz and four for Tango. The one drawback is the video of the practice sessions where a ballroom of bad-dancing students move to the music of Nancy Hays and her orchestra. I found it a little too self-promotional, but it was really funny in a corny sort of way.
