Book Reviews of The Tao of Tango
Book Review: East meets West on the tango floor
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. Siegmann deftly sheds light on this unique dance form from a spiritual/ metaphysical point of view. In particular, her distinction between male/female energy and behavior is a powerful concept that helps us provide a framework to better understand gender issues in our still somewhat patriarchal culture. She shows that tango can be treated as a metaphor for many areas in life, including a deeper understanding of our own natures.Book Review: Highly recommended for Tango inspired readers!
Summary: 5 Stars
As dancer specializing in Argentine Tango instruction I recommend this book to all of my students. It's a wonderfully written book with a delightful insight into the mysterious dance of Argentine Tango that only a true Tanguera could have written! Bonus: it's an easy read...short and sweet!Book Review: Insightful and Compelling
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Tao of Tango is one of the most compelling, thought-provoking, informative and sensitive books I have ever read. This book was written from the heart of the author, Johanna Siegmann, to the heart of anyone seeking to understand the interplay of female and male energy in relationships. The use of the Tango as a metaphor for the "dance of life" is beautiful and profound in its simplicity...your spirit will dance with this one. "Book Review: Insightful, introspective, and thought provoking.
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine recommended this book to me. I read "The Tao of Tango" not knowing what to expect. I found this author's style colorfully descriptive. She uses her years of experience dancing the Tango as metaphors to describe the fragile balance of energies found in all interpersonal relationships, as they are percieved from the point of view of both sexes. Her writing style is friendly, uplifting, insightful, and you never feel as though she is lecturing you: this is my basic complaint of other books in this genre. I feel better for having read this book. A "must" read.Book Review: It's About the Connection
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is not so much about steps or sequences, so don't expect to learn cool moves from it. It's more about what lays beyond the movement. A balance between two energies: feminine and masculine that is what creates that strong unforgettable connection between people in dance or in life.
I recommend this book to anyone, either you are dancing tango or not; it's short and very easy to read. And if you don't find a nice dance technique suggestion in it, you might find something that would be applicable in your every day life in a relation with your significant one or friends, or colleagues at work.
