From Beginners to Champions – Tango is an instructional Standard Ballroom video by William Pino & Alessandra Bucciarelli, designed to show how a basic Tango routine can be developed into a more advanced and expressive competitive routine.

The program is organized into four progressive groups, each presented with a basic routine and an advanced routine. Instead of simply adding difficult figures, William and Alessandra explain how Tango choreography can be improved through better leg and foot action, stronger topline shape, clearer timing, and more musical expression.
