Raktažodžiai:
The tango is easily the most iconic dance of the last century, its images as familiar as an old friend. But are they the whole story? Peeling back the poster propaganda that has always characterized the tango publicly, this intimate study shows the invisible heart of the dance and the culture that raised it. Drawing on direct experience and conversations with dancers, it reveals much about the role of the tango in Argentinean culture.

Recenzijos

In Strangers Arms is both an evocative ballad dedicated to Buenos Aires, and an effective and aesthetic anatomy of the dance form.Eric Van Young, University of California, San Diego; Unique among tango books published outside Argentina, In Strangers Arms brings us face to face with an intimate tango, one as far removed from the big stages as it is from the stereotype of the Latin male.Sergio Pujol, author of Discépolo, una biografķa argentina; A must-read for tango aficionados. Beatriz Dujovne dispels the myths surrounding the dance and probes the heart of the tango in an honest and accurate portrayal of the dance and its allure.Alex Krebs, tango dancer and musician.
