IDTA Technique of Ballroom Dancing – Tango: The Definitive Reference Manual for Precision, Connection, and Competitive Adjudication

Master the dramatic, sharp, and intense movement of the International Standard Tango with the official industry standard textbook: IDTA Technique of Ballroom Dancing – Tango by Guy Howard. The Tango distinguishes itself through its unique staccato action, constant changes in pace, and the specific “compact” frame required for powerful connection. Guy Howard, a preeminent academic authority, deconstructs the intricate mechanics of this dance, reducing complex physical interactions into clear, logical, and repeatable principles.

This specialized 50-page reference textbook focuses entirely on the Tango, outlining every regulatory metric required to pass professional medal examinations and technical grading boards. From explicit foot placement tracks to granular data on head positions, rotational mechanics, and directional alignment angles, this manual provides students and professional trainers with a mathematically precise foundation. By emphasizing structural honesty and the characteristic “Tango character,” it trains the reader to execute dramatic patterns with the stability and poise required on the championship floor.
