Our Tango World vol.1: Learning & Community

Our Tango World vol.1: Learning & Community

Join Terpsichoral Tangoaddict, aka Iona Italia, on a sharply observed journey through the world of Buenos Aires tango. Along the way we get to meet Terpsi’s partners in crime: <i>The Slow Semite</i>, <i>The Leprechaun</i>, and <i>Pretty Salony Boy</i>; her teachers, the ever-patient <i>Master of Calm</i>, <i>El Chino</i> and others; her friends <i>Foxy</i>, <i>The Sylph</i> and <i>Mr Hugman</i>, as well as occasional dance partners <i>Flirty Boy</i> and <i>The Turk</i>.<br/>This is, however, no travel memoir, but a guide to our own tango world. This first volume focusses on the learning experience and concludes with a guide to creating strong and healthy tango communities.<br />Terpsi believes passionately in learning and practice as the route not just to mastery of the dance, but to an ever-deepening world of pleasure and enjoyment. With her guidance, perhaps we can leave the <i>Land of the Long-Term Beginners</i> and gradually make our way towards the sunnier uplands of <i>Tango Elysium</i>.
