    Have not had a chance to write up a review of your DVD lessons till now. First off - your DVD’s are first rate.

    1. The fact that you and George speak clear fluent English can not be overlooked.

    2. You are consistent in your descriptions of “start at position 2”, 3, 4 etc. of the 8 count basic. Consistency is essential for a person learning something new.

    3. The lighting is sufficient to see all movements.

    4. The stage is large enough to show complete patterns.

    5. The camera work did not focus primarily on your feet. This provided an opportunity to see the upper body leading and following which is missing from most tango videos and is actually the most important aspect.

    6. You and George repeated the pattern from numerous positions which is very helpful.

    7. Adding the counting especially in the Vals DVD was superior.

    8. The choice of clothes helped visually to see your bodies clearly. (I know you have your own complaints about the choices of clothing they wanted you to wear)

    9. There is an obvious chemistry between you and George that comes out that both of you are very nice people and are friends and like working with each other. Selecting George as your partner for the DVD’s helped make the total package.
