Understanding Musicality : Al Compas del Corazon: Filling in the Blanks of Argentine Tango - Book Five

Without a heartbeat, Argentine Tango is lifeless. Without musicality, you're not so much dancing, just moving while music is played. This book starts by answering the questions you may be embarrassed to ask in a class. What is a beat? How is it different from "the beat"? How do you find it in the music?

Through clear explanations and examples, it then gradually guides you to a deeper understanding of Argentine Tango's mysterious Compas. It shows you how Argentine Tango's rhythms provide structure to the music and give dancers musical cues, helping them interpret the music. Rather than getting tied down in academic theories, the book focuses on how you can use this new knowledge to improve your social dancing.
