Album Notes & Community Reviews

Designed for the famed ballroom dance studio franchise, this instructional but highly musical LP brings the dramatic flair of Argentine tango to middle-class American parlors. The rich, cinematic orchestrations emphasize strict, staccato rhythms, ensuring the tempos remain perfectly suited for practical dance application.
