Tango Tips by the Maestros: When more than 40 maestros decide to help you develop your tango

It would take me years to find out even quarter of what is written in these pages, but now I just hold in my hands a whole book, full of priceless advice, experience and wisdom of Maestros. I was taking my first steps in tango when I bought this book drawn to desire to learn more about it, take a look through the slightly opened door to the great teachers and maybe hear the words they said. Instead of this, the door opened wide and I was greeted with warmth, sincerity and open-handedness of amazing dancers. So many great tips. So many valuable thoughts about tango. So much help, supportive and useful information. Very important and invaluable book for those who have tango addiction and want to get better at dance.

The book worth price. Though it has a very few good tips from real masters and it felt more like a sales ad. Registering for readers online environment was so complicated and it kept asking to share this book on social media.It was hard to navigate on the ROE to find the chapter and associated “tip”.

I am totally blown away by the quality, quantity, and diversity of the magnificent advice in this book!I urge you to visit Amazon's "Look Inside" for the paperback edition. Check out the Table of Contents. Visit any pages. I feel certain that you will find, as I did, that the writing here feels like a warm, comfortable tango embrace.This is NOT a book to read through. This is a book to dip into from time to time, to find inspiration, to find comfort, to help to understand. I first read the Introductory material, and Dimitris has such a warm, helpful way of writing. It feels like a friend by your side giving guidance on how to get the most out of the book. I expect that his desire to help others and his inspiring way of writing had a major influence on *all* of the book's content.I've read only a few chapters so far, but I feel confident that every person who contributed to it can feel justifiably proud of how they have contributed to Argentine tango.A wee-bit of helpful feedback that I would give is that a book of such scope, with so many diverse topics and authors, really, really deserves a top-notch Index.Thank you, Dimitris. I am so impressed with what you and the authors have accomplished with the TANGO TIPS book!

This is perhaps the best book on the essence of Tango - connection, technique, musicality etc. What I find most valuable is that this book offers various perspectives from multiple Maestras/Maestros. There are many controversial topics on the connection, embrace, dancing open vs closed, interpreting music and so on... This book indicates that there may be many paths leading to the ultimate Tango experience, much as in life.Dimitris, thank you for sharing your invaluable work with the rest of the community!

Each teacher tip, help you with your tango dance.

There is a lot of useful information in the collaboration of Argentine Tango Maestors/Maestras collected by Dimitris Bronkowski. Although there is some overlapping information they all reinforce the importance of Axis and Balance. I am a fan of Helaine Treitman as well as Detlef Engel and Melina Sedo and their chapters did not disappoint. I am a new fan of Pablo Gomez and Ludmila Srnkova. If you watch Ludmilla's videos on the Readers Online Environment (a great benefit when you buy the book) regarding the step after the sandwich Pablo is hilarious. They contributed some technical information about musicality which is very useful. If you dance Argentine Tango you should add this book to your learning process.

Honestly, I'm not a book reader. But with this book, made me. It is a broad understanding of "TANGO". In life, dance, connection with people, philosophy, self improvement in all aspects, and more. I don't have to end on a page or chapter for continuity. It is a book of sharing and teaching. BAUTANZ has it's own touch.. A complete book. I didn't skip the "INTRODUCTION" as described by,Dimitris Bronowski with his powerful warning of "not to skip it". It is a total TREASURE, about understanding TANGO. Thanks for the book Chrisa.:)Always,Reynaldo

For anyone interested in Argentine Tango, this is a good resource of information. Now that there's more time to read, it's a refreshing way to stay connected to the beauty of tango........ especially, since we can't dance. Highly recommended reading.

How did I keep myself focussed on tango throughout the endless lockdowns of the COVID pandemic? Although I could not attend classes, festivals or milongas, I could read as many books on tango as I could get my hands on. Two of the most important of these were Dimitris Bronowski's Tango Tips by the Maestros, and its companion volume, Tangofulness.These books encouraged me to think about tango as a deeper artform and as a way of life. There are many ideas in these texts which inspired me, but in general terms what stayed with me was the sense that, when I dance with anyone - no matter who they are or their level of expertise - my goal is to give them the best tango experience that I possibly can.In Tango Tips by the Maestros, Bronowski has assembled contributions from renowned tango maestros who offer advice on technique, on musicality, who give their explorations of tango connection, and discuss the importance of enjoying the embrace. Amongst this cacophony of voices you will find treasures: moments of tango wisdom which will help to guide you to the next stage of your tango journey. If I was to choose one specific favourite moment from Maestros, it would be Juan Stephanides' idea about the embrace; about focussing on your partner's natural tendencies: to open 'your body and your senses to understand as much as possible, to listen, to feel.'When the tango classes, festivals and milongas returned, I was a different dancer.

Tango is much more than just a dance and there are so many paths and viewpoints on how to grow into it as a dancer. What didn't speak to me in this book may well be "gold' to you. Be sure to check out the online portion as there's a lot of information there as well.

Very well written book, didn't expect that a book could be helpful to dance. I'm a Tango teacher and there are interesting tips for dancing and teaching.It's structured in little chapters, that may be interesting for non-readers tangueros.A bailar!

C'est une surprise. C'est un livre à lire, pour surfer... Provocateur et s'éveille en nous, pas confortable mais nous touche. C'est parler avec des sensibilités. C'est une fenêtre pour donner de l'émotion à la danse. Fascinant.Parabéns Dimitri. Grande Abraço

日本ではアルゼンチンタンゴは愛と情熱のダンスという決まり文句がありますが何か言葉が足りません。あのバンドネオンの哀愁を帯びたメロディはなにを訴えているのでしょうか。コロナの問題でダンスは中止、家にいるしかありません。このためスペイン語が出来ないのでので英語版の本を4冊読みました。アルゼンチンはほとんど欧州からの移民で開拓が始まり発展してきました。国は農産物、鉱物資源に恵まれているのにデホルトを何回となく繰り返しています。明るく多様性を尊重しあい優しい人たちです。建国当時は若い男性で溢れ男同士でダンスが始まったようです。読んだ本の中でこの本に一番感動しました。世界のマエストロ40人のタンゴに対するメッセージが書かれています。Dimitrisの歯切れが良く分かりやすい文章が光っています。要約すると　１．気付きが大切。練習、練習を続けると自分のダンスに前進するためのヒントが生まれる。　２．パトナーを大切に尊敬信頼をする。自分の我を捨ててダンスをしよう。一体感が生まれる。　３．タンゴは即興の踊りです。このためリーダーの練習は大変です。毎日バランスを保つ練習をしよう。　４．タンゴの踊りはお互いに胸を接して踊る。これ無くばタンゴに非ずです。　　　この組み方日本人は恥ずかしがって中々出来ないですよ。　　　そのほか珠玉の言葉が沢山あります。私は本とキンドル版の両方を購入しました。　　　この40人のマエストロのダンスをYouTubeで全部ダウンロードしました。全員ダンスのスタイルが　　　全く違います。コメントとダンスを見比べてみるとアルゼンチンタンゴの奥深さを強く感じます。　　　先日タンゴのレッスンに行ってきました。これらの本を読んでレッスンへの態度も変わりダンスも　　　変わってきたように感じました。著者とインターネットを介してつながりタンゴの情報をいただいており　　　便利な世の中になりましたね。　　　読んだ本　　　　Tango Tips by　the Maestros. Why Tango. The meaning of Tango . Colonial Argentina. 得したこと：タンゴの本がスラスラ読めるようになりました。 良かったです。
