They do turn up on eBay, so what I had to do was make an email alert to let me know when a set turned up. Keep in mind that they changed the cover the last time there was a reprint so it's some other couple on the cover - but the DVDs are the same.

I find watching so many of the milongueros and milongueras inspiring, but Gavito . . . for me, he was just something else entirely. *sigh* I wish I had started tango earlier...Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960763038363579526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-53028963463580312082010-05-05T05:31:56.626-07:002010-05-05T05:31:56.626-07:00Those instructional DVDs are the only ones I can r...Those instructional DVDs are the only ones I can recommend to our students. <br />The other ones teach steps and choreography, not how to dance tango.<br /><br />Whether on stage or off, Gavito was an amazing presence. <br /><br />He was my teacher too.tangocheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012220622641996877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-46117071814673136372010-05-03T11:14:02.154-07:002010-05-03T11:14:02.154-07:00I've had these videos for a few years now.

She said...<br /><br />"Too many dancers will want to embellish.They will do this, and do that (she demonstrates). This does not look good...
