Master of All Manipulations

This is a great book for everyone who wants to get a comprehensive introduction to the psychology and physicality of tango, but also for the more advanced dancers who want to improve their dancing. The author offers several lessons, as well as insights into the key elements of tango (such as the tango principles, the secret of the embrace, developing the frame), with a key focus on the leading technique. Moreover, every position and movement in tango has historical and social roots that define the dance. Elena explores these historical roots and the manner in which they influence the way the dancers interact with each other on the dance floor and in their real lives alike.
