New ABC’s of Ballroom Tango – Caterina Arzenton

Few instructional series have influenced Ballroom dancers as much as ABC’s of Ballroom, created by legendary coach and former UK Open Professional Standard Champion Caterina Arzenton. This updated edition brings her celebrated teaching approach to a new generation, combining clear technical explanations with demonstrations by World-class dancers Domen Krapez & Monica Nigro.

Dedicated entirely to Standard Tango, this program explores not only the mechanics of each figure but also the posture, body action, leg usage, timing, and character that give Tango its distinctive style. Every lesson is designed to help dancers understand why movements work—not simply memorize choreography.

Each figure is presented as follows:

• Dance together with the music
• The explanation of the Men’s steps showing the footwork
• The explanation of the Lady’s steps showing the footwork
• Dance together with the music plus counting
