Please excuse this off-topic comment, but I would like to say how much I have enjoyed your exchanges. I have just begun classes at age 50 with my husband and the tango has been an interesting experience. Reading your comments place a wonderful light on the dance that, perhaps, we have not seen before. Thank you.

capy56. If you want a really good video on the Tango, the Waltz is on the same tape. Steven Hillier's Dance Basics is still available. If not from this site Quasar Video in the UK. have them. They are the same people responsible for bringing us Blackpool live on the inter- net. Best wishes.

Hi,
I found the stories by Tangotime and Serendipidy very interesting, especially when Tangotime said he was a former examiner for the now IDTA. He may find it interesting to know that two former IDTA examiners write to this board, namely; Kenneth Lee and Ken Akrill.

I did NOT say I was a examiner for the IDTA ( I am a Dual Fellow BR Latin/ Amer./ Smooth and Rhythm) My reference m was to the NADTA ( In the States ).

Capy56. Again I would strongly recommend Steven' s instruction on the Tango. For instance explaining what will happen if in a Promenade the toes are pointing straight down the floor instead of across. And also the lady turning the toe inwards on the first step of the Link.And the feeling of actually going back down the LOD on the second step. Its all there and easy to understand.. Good Luck.

I also danced at the Palaise in the late 50s, I remember the Ladies all sitting together at one end and the men at the other end . It was so embarrassing to cross the floor to ask a Lady for a dance and be turned down. I was just learning to dance. I went to a dance school in Hendon London, the dance variation I learnt are the same as today.
