Very useful.......2004-03-25
I am glad I've found this CD Rom. I've been learning tango for a long time, and finally I have found a system that makes sense to me.
Fabulous!.......2003-02-12
The section that I love the most is the 40 video secuences danced by Mauricio Castro and Carla Marano, where you can see
these two marvelous dancers in action.
Easy and powerful.......2003-02-05
As I stared to watch the videos and the animations, all the explanations came to my help. So now I can easily do a lot more than before.
The first part is good, and it has all the sense in the world when you finish to see all videos, cause then you realize the whole concept.
Practical way to learn to dance.......2002-12-08
It is amazing how easy it is to improve your dancing by watching the videos and the explanations, cause then when you go to practice, you know what to do and what you are looking for in the exercises.
No way to learn to dance.......2002-11-20
I tried it, but it was no use. How can anyone improve their dancing by reading a book or watching a CD? Maybe it has some useful concepts, but I don't see any practical applications. I'd rather read a book about history of tango or about some famous tango dancers or composers, but when it comes to dancing, I would rather take classes with good teachers.

Lacking the Spanish names for the dance patterns.......2007-02-19
I have been taking Tango lessons in the San Francisco Bay Area on and off for 3 years. The instructors always refer to the Spanish names of the patterns or moves, such as a "Barrida" or "Curzada". I wanted a book that would be a reference to the patterns I was using so I ordered this book.
However, I was amazed to find that all the moves lack the Spanish name, instead using terms like "front cross", "open step". I cannot tie those patterns back to what I am learning and returned the book.
I did like all the wonderful footwork diagrams in the book and would have been thrilled if they were titled with the Spanish name, such as "ochos".
An indespensible eye-opener.......2006-02-23
Tango is usually taught using a series of well-known patterns -- students might recognize ideas such as the "eight-count basic," "back ochos," or the "ocho cortado." Dancers usually learn to dance by learning these sequences, then assembling and inventing little variations.
Late in the 20th century, several tango dancers (the author among them) discovered that there is a far more basic structure underlying all these sequences. Every known sequence -- almost every possible sequence, in fact, can be described in terms of just three basic kinds of step combined in different ways. This is a surprisingly but incredibly powerful revelation: it is as if you've been learning a language from a phrasebook, and all of a sudden somebody introduces you to the grammar. You've only learned whole melodies, and somebody teaches you to name the notes. It opens up an entire world of possibilities for invention, improvisation, and personal expression.
Some people are bewildered by this. They need prearranged sequences, things that they can memorize and repeat. If you find the idea of improvisation threatening instead of exciting, skip this book, and keep learning your sequences.
If, however, you are a creative person, and you feel that there are many things you *could* do with the dance -- if only you could figure out the possibilities! -- then get this book. The whole thing is good, but what you really want is the first 15 or 20 of the "Theory" section. That's the heart of the book, and it will change your tango world.
Complaints: (1) As with "Tango Awareness," the editing is poor, and there are some conspicuous typos. Hopefully a new edition will fix this. (2) Much of the book is really just exercises working out many possible combinations of the same things for you to practice. While working through all those combinations is good -- essential, in fact! -- that material is quite tedious in a book, and probably better presented in video or audio form. I don't own the CD ROM, but it might be a better buy.
Regardless, get this book -- and if nothing else, read the first part of "Theory" carefully, word by word, until you understand it thoroughly. Your effort will be rewarded many, many times over.
Great book !!! I also recomend Tango awareness.......2005-01-29
I read it and is perfect. I also recomend the book Tango awareness by Mauricio Castro, wich is full of the why he made up Tango discovery as a dancing method.
Very useful.......2004-03-25
I am glad I've found this book. I've been learning tango for a long time, and finally I have found a system that makes sense to me.
Great book about Structure.......2004-02-29
In my opinion it is a very good book. It had clarify to me and my students a lot about this dance. I use it with all my students and we have great fun.
Book Description
What is tango? Dance, music, and lyrics of course, but also a philosophy, a strategy, a commodity, even a disease. This book explores the politics of tango, tracing tango's travels from the brothels of Buenos Aires to the cabarets of Paris and the shak dansu clubs of Tokyo. The author is an Argentinean political theorist and a dance professor at the University of California at Riverside. She uses her "tango tongue" to tell interwoven tales of sexuality, gender, race, class, and national identity. Along the way she unravels relations between machismo and colonialism, postmodernism and patriarchy, exoticism and commodification. In the end she arrives at a discourse on decolonization as intellectual "unlearning."

The Only Good Study of tango in English.......2005-08-25
In response to the reviewer below - why a non-academic would bother to try and read a book containing the phrase "political economy of passion" in its title is beyond me. What did s/he think it would be like?
This is one of those books that is absolutely incredible for those with the formation to read it, and probably completely meaningless to those without: those who don't have a graduate education ought to be scared off by the title, as intended. Don't blame a book because you don''t happen to fall within its target audience: simply look for something that's more within your abilities.
A perfect work.......2003-12-11
I couldn't agree more with Mr. Stermitz.

Tanog dancers beware!.......2003-02-07
This book is basically unreadable. I tried several times to wade through it and eventually gave up. I am sure there are some valuable points here but they are under deep layers of academic self indulgence. Tango dancers beware! This book is more about political theory than the dance.
History of Tango Including Social and Emotional Aspects.......1997-01-31
Histories of the Argentine tango are often polemical. Questions of propriety, national identity and social position have colored and distorted the perceptions of both authors and readers. In this tradition, Marta E. Savigliano, Assistant Professor of dance history at the University of California, Riverside, explores the history of the Argentine Tango as a dance form using sex/gender, wealth/class and color/race categories.
As a woman, a feminist and a dancer of tango, Savigliano is willing to investigate aspects of the tango that both attract and disturb many people.
What is different and most provocative in Savigliano's history of the tango is her exploration of the sex-gender dynamics. Her description of tango includes its emotional context:
"As a powerful representation of male/female courtship, stressing the
tension involved in the process of seduction, the tango performance has
gone through several successive adjustments as it has been adopted and
legitimized by the upper classes and by Western hegemonic cultures."
Savigliano's legitimization road introduces us to upper-crust Argentine lads slumming in the brothels of Buenos Aires, takes us through left-bank Paris of the 1910s, explains romantic reinterpretations of tango as it became THE dance of the Argentine middle class by the 1940s. We even visit more recent Japanese tango revivals.
Is the tango a display of unequal male-female power relationships? Who seduces whom?
Savigliano speaks as someone who knows well the tango, notably the heart and soul and the passion-tension in the dance. She views the tango woman not as a victim, but as a co-conspirator. The follower may not lead the tango, but she often knows more about what's happening than the leader:
"Translated into tango choreographic terms, [Tango] lyrics suggest that
milonguitas could provoke the dance (call the attention of their target
through their glances, figure, and dancing abilities) and tempt the
class/race status quo into motion, but they would never lead or "mark"
(marcar) in the moment at which the special steps were performed.
So Savigliano's answer is that the follower provokes and teases, and maybe
controls the leader's heart and intentions, even while the leader is
choreographing the dance, in spite of the fact that the economic power relationship may be quite unequal.
There are not many English language histories of the tango, so Savigliano's effort is a welcome contribution. On the whole, the writing style is accessible for an intelligent reader, although sometimes the academic approach is over-stressed and other times it is too artistic or impressionable.
The strength of this book is that human emotions and the male-female dynamic of tango have been brought into its historical analysis. The tango dance is quite unusual in this regard because without the experience of dancing tango an armchair historian simply persuing primary-source material would miss some of the most important elements no matter how deep the investigation.

Customer Reviews:
The title may be misleading, but the book will lead you right.......2006-02-23
This book is perhaps even better than its predecessor. It delves into more complex possibilities than the first, and presents a wealth of rich exercises and dance ideas. It's also better edited (fewer typos) and, I think, more clearly presented.
The title is a bit misleading: this is not only structure, but also practical exercises in technique and body training, and bits of tango philosophy. In this last respect, it is also a continuation of "Tango Awareness" -- but it steers clear of the some of the pretentious and silly grand declarations that bogged down Tango Awareness, and sticks with the author's wonderful little "thought experiment" explorations of tango philosophy. (The back cover of SotDv2 is pretty darned pretentious, but the book is not, thankfully.)
If you have not read SotDv1, but are an experienced tango dancer, you may be able to jump straight into this one -- if, and *only* if, you understand why, for example, a front cross against an open step in parallel system moves in contrary directions. If that last sentence isn't completely comprehensible and obvious to you, get volume 1 first.
Great learning experience.......2003-03-02
The first part of the book is my favorite. It really gave me a lot of clues on how to practice and what to practice. Now I'm practicing a lot less time than before and I'm learning a lot faster.
Excelent book.......2003-02-26
I have been a tango instructor for 20 years and I find even the exercises were good for me, I'm using them to teach to my beginners class.
I do really thanks the effort put on it and the inspiration I got from it.
Tango, The Structure of the Dance vol.2 by Mauricio Castro.......2003-02-12

for relaxation and understanding ones body.
The second part it provides the inside of the mind of an improviser, detailing the tools to improve your dancing.
Excellent book.
Exelent choice.......2003-02-03
It starts with a nice introduction of the ways the author sees tango.
Then there are chapters with great exercises for balance and technique, and the last part is the golden key to the dance theory.
Great job!
Book Description
Since the end of World War II, economists have tried to figure out how poor countries in the tropics could attain standards of living approaching those of countries in Europe and North America. Attempted remedies have included providing foreign aid, investing in machines, fostering education, controlling population growth, and making aid loans as well as forgiving those loans on condition of reforms. None of these solutions has delivered as promised. The problem is not the failure of economics, William Easterly argues, but the failure to apply economic principles to practical policy work.
In this book Easterly shows how these solutions all violate the basic principle of economics, that people--private individuals and businesses, government officials, even aid donors--respond to incentives. Easterly first discusses the importance of growth. He then analyzes the development solutions that have failed. Finally, he suggests alternative approaches to the problem. Written in an accessible, at times irreverent, style, Easterly’s book combines modern growth theory with anecdotes from his fieldwork for the World Bank.

Yes indeed "People respond to incentives".......2007-06-19
Unlike Jeffrey Sachs in "The end of Poverty," who calls for a large-scale investment in the Third World countries and paying only scant attention to the importance of prior government commitment and endogenous (indigenous) policy reforms, Dr. Easterly strongly emphasizes domestic variables in shaping growth. His book highlights why growth have failed in most developing countries:"people respond to incentives." It is a must for anyone trying to understand the multidimensionality of growth. Orthodox elixirs have their limits....
Very interesting easy to read, light on solutions.......2007-04-21
Easterly's book in general does a very good job at simplifying the economic language and is easily accessible to all readers. The book also flows well and is an interesting read. He does a good job at describing and analyzing the problems with various economic growth policies. However, his solutions and paths to move forward are vague and simplified.
Elusive Fantasies on Global Prosperity.......2007-04-20
The persistence of poverty and underdevelopment in African countries after the independence of these countries might lead one to reevaluate the validity of the entire discipline of development studies. William Easterly does so from an institutional point of view. He argues that African countries' failure was partly a result of fictitious "panaceas". Albeit a bit more comprehensive, Easterly's method is not very different from the panaceas that failed, however: It is technology, stupid, not machines (p. 51).
Easterly argues that panaceas such as international aid, investment, education, and population control failed because they were not panaceas in the first place. He adamantly tries to show that there is no historical or statistical relationship between these "panaceas" and economic growth. His second argument as to why these methods failed to result in economic development is that they were not coupled with "right incentives". According to Easterly, governments, donors, and individuals respond to incentives; therefore, policies that do not create any incentives for either of these three are doomed to fail. Other than these policy issues, Easterly views technological advancement as the most concrete factor that determines the development of countries. Thus, rather than investment in machines, Easterly prescribes for poor countries investment in R & D. Given the absence of incentives for private parties to invest in R & D in poor countries, he suggests that the governments of poor countries should subsidize investment in new knowledge (p. 168).
Problems, Problems, Problems...
Putting the "people respond to incentives" motto aside, there are two primary problems in Easterly's evaluation of "panaceas". The first one is that he incorrectly discredits the crucial elements of development. To start with, Easterly believes that increases in investments -or machines- has no theoretical or empirical relationship with growth. However, we know no country that has developed without an increase in savings, investments, and machines. (Indeed, for Stiglitz, the East Asian "miracle" was simply a result of saving heavily and investing well). As such, the relationship between machines and economic growth needs a clarification: machines are necessary, though not sufficient, element of an economic growth. Yet Easterly does not think that machines are even a necessary component of growth. Testing this necessary argument, he finds that high rates of investments are not related to high rates of economic growth. The problem with Easterly's test, however, is that it is based on the assumption of a linear relationship between increases in the number of machines and economic growth. Yet no one would argue that "the more machines, the more growth" relationship holds forever. "Machinization" is not immune to the law of diminishing returns. The first couple machines increase the output enormously, later ones increase output less, and later ones more less, so much so that after a point increases in machines virtually decreases productivity because the return from investment in machines does not even matches its costs. Thus, in the absence of an improvement in technology, the relationship between the number of machines and growth is either log linear or curvilinear (`n' shape). (The classic case of high output growth without much productivity growth was that of the Soviet Union in the 1950s and early 1960s. Soviet economy was growing only because of massive mobilization of labor and huge rates of investment and total productivity was growing slowly, if at all. This implied that the growth had to slow down first, and die down later. This is indeed what happened.) For this reason, the relationship between machines and technology is a complementary one. Machines start economic growth and technological advancements maintain and further it. I do not understand therefore why Easterly mystifies the importance of technology for developing countries and downplays the equal importance of investment in machines for these countries. After al technology is applied on machines; or in other words, technological advancement means improvement of machines.
Education has long been treated as another "necessary but not sufficient" element of economic development. Easterly counters this argument as well. He argues that there is no empirical evidence for the positive relationship between investment in formal schooling and growth rates. His argument is based upon primary and secondary level education, however. I do not think that Easterly would still find a nonexistent relationship between post-high school education and growth. What is important here is that investment in technology, which Easterly views as the crucial element in growth, cannot take place without substantial investment in upper level education. In such a case, developing countries will continuously have to import their scientists and engineers from the developed world, which would perpetuate their dependence on rich countries. (Is it just a coincidence that the four Asian countries that have maintained astonishing levels of economic growth in the second half of the 20th century (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China) are also the top four countries that send most students to American universities?)
Finally, Easterly's conclusion on the irrelevance of population growth to economic growth is based on his incorrect interpretation of the historical relationship between the two. He argues that historically population growth and economic growth followed the same pattern in industrialized nations: both were slow until the 19th century, and then both accelerated at the same time. Thus, "it is hard to reconcile this fact with the idea that population growth is disastrous to growth," (p. 92). But the parallel trends in population and economic growth in the 19th-century Europe was simply due to economic growth's positive impact on social health. Economic growth meant less infant deaths, less diseases, and more disease treatment. This is exactly the case in today's poor countries. Therefore, the reason why economic growth and population increase go hand in hand in poor nations is not that population increase helps economic growth, but rather that economic growth causes population growth by reducing deaths due to curable diseases. (Interestingly, in the introduction of the book Easterly articulates why economic growth is important for poor countries: "Poverty is not just low GDP; it is dying babies, starving children, and oppression of women and the downtrodden," (p. 15). I do not understand, therefore, why he fails to see that this is exactly why economic growth in poor societies has a population-increasing effect.) To me, population growth is detrimental to economic growth especially for countries that has low capital-to-labor and land-to-labor ratios. Population growth may not be harmful for nations who has high capital-to-labor ratio (e.g. Belgium) because they have enough resources to invest on each additional individual. Similarly, population growth might not be necessarily detrimental for countries with a relatively high land-to-labor ratio (e.g. Brazil), for they can employ new members at least in the agricultural sector. But for a country like Bangladesh, which has low capital-to-labor as well as low land-to-labor ratio, population growth harms growth in two ways. First, it increases the number of mouths that are to be fed with the scarce capital; second, it depresses the wage down by increasing demand for the already scarce jobs.
I agree with Easterly that none of these factors are "panaceas"; nevertheless, they are essential elements of growth policies in developing countries.
To me, the fundamental problem in Easterly's approach to economic development is his misreading of history and his failure to understand the dynamics of a capitalist growth. Easterly attributes rich countries' richness to their technological advancement and implementing right governmental policies. This approach has two inexcusable problems: first, it assumes that all countries can be rich if they employ right policies; second, it assumes that development is a national phenomenon. Like most economic liberals, Easterly shares Rostow's (1959) naïve belief that development has a path to be followed and "any and every" country that follows this path will become a rich country. This argument is simply against the scarcity of vital resources of the world. Today each inhabitant of the North consumes ten times as much energy, nineteen times as much aluminum, fourteen times as much paper, and thirteen times as much iron and steel as someone in the South. Thus, it would take ten planets the size of this one for poor countries to consume as much as rich ones do (Galeano 2000, p. 216). Given the scarcity of vital resources, what poor nations can achieve at most is to alleviate (or maybe eliminate) poverty, not to get rich. And even this cannot be done with their own efforts solely.
A related problem in Easterly's approach is its negligence of the relationship between economic and political power in the world (well, according to Gilpin, this is a common problem among economists). Thanks to its richness, the West (led by the US) enjoys economic, political, and military hegemony over the rest of the world. Any threat to this hegemony will preoccupy the Western countries. The US has already started to preoccupy with the Chinese economic growth, even though Chinese GDP per capita is still around $1000 only. How would be the power relations in a world in which Brazil, India, Nigeria, Indonesia, and China had GDP per capita levels above $10000? Would the powerful countries of the world welcome such a world? Interestingly, Easterly fails to apply his motto onto world politics: What "incentives" does G-7 have in the enrichment of poor countries?
Great Themes and Practical Views.......2007-01-12
I was impressed with Easterly's objective viewpoint as well as his clarity of expressive economic ideas. It was great to read about historical progress on the poverty of nations and what ideas have not worked in the past. It is a great broad overview and it is presented in a very orderly and easy to understand way. I was entertained as I read as well with his personal experiences, metaphors and humor.
It is a good educational read.
Fresh Approach.......2006-11-03
The setting and structure are atypical and a sense of humor is added for enjoyable reading. More important there is an element of hope for the dismal science.
