The Story of the Argentinian Dance By Christine Denniston Published by Portico Books RRP £9.99 | Hardback 9781906032166 ISBN: 9-781906-032166 From the back streets of Buenos Aires to Parisian high society, The Meaning of Tango is the story of a dance shaped by politics and passion, immigration and romance. Christine Denniston, a young Englishwoman with a degree in Theoretical Physics, shocked family and friends by running off to Buenos Aires to become a Tango dancer. In The Meaning of Tango she explains why “dancing Tango is like being in love for three minutes”, and how the dance evolved to give two people the most intimate connection possible on the dance floor. Passionate and analytical, she articulates the secret of the blend of sex and chess that makes Tango so uniquely intoxicating. The Meaning of Tango describes the global Tangomania of 1913, the creation of American Tango by Vernon and Irene Castle, the creation of Ballroom Tango in the 1930s, and the new Tangomania begun in the 1980s by the hit show Tango Argentino. The success of Strictly Come Dancing has generated a fascination with dance in this country, and the continuing popularity of Tango stage shows since Tango Argentino demonstrates the very special way that Tango still stirs the imagination. About the Author: Christine Denniston is “one of the world’s leading experts on the Tango” Angela Rippon, LBC, and has taught the dance on five continents. She contributes to the web sites totaltango.com and history-of-tango.com Portico Books is an imprint of Anova 10 Southcombe Street London W14 ORA Buy the book at Amazon |
