The Tao of Tango

Reviews!

"The Tao of Tango is ... the ultimate self-help book on the way men and women view relationships. Written specifically to be accessible to both genders, The Tao Of Tango includes physical exercises to heighten the senses. Author Johanna Siegmann compares male and female energy, also known as Yang and Yin, to archetypal Tango dancers, and from this draws insight for the reader to ponder long after he or she finishes this slim book. Fresh, unique, and definitely a brand new twist on the Tango."

James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review, Oregon, WI  

 

"Using Tango as a metaphor for communication and the Tango dancers as representations of male and female energy, this book  strives to help people find balance and harmony in their own lives."

"The Tao of Tango, almost a cult book on tango by Johanna Siegmann, who found dance and its connection to Taoism and made it into a little book everybody in tango should have a copy of. A great gift for anyone, a super stocking stuffer for a dancer."

Marcy Goldman, Better Baking

 

"...[N]early every sentence is a deep and profound truth about Tango and real-life relationships.  The concise language expresses very clearly what I always thought but never formulated in such a lucid way.  I appreciate the  insistence on the difference between energy and its expression through behavior.  A wonderful book!!"

Peter Ripota, PM Magazine, Munich, Germany

 

"Tango is an art, a physical discipline, and a philosophy [and] Johanna Siegmann has gone so far as to write a book and create a system of spiritual training she calls The Tao of Tango.

Kathryn Eastburn, Contributing Editor, Colorado Springs Independent

 

"In a fascinating new book, The Tao of Tango by Johanna Siegmann, readers learn how relationships are the building blocks of every aspect of their lives."

Johanna offers a way to understand the harmony that exists in the Tango couple and outside it. To do so she uses a frame of reference which may or may not coincide with that of the reader, but which [whether] seen as an exacting description of the laws that rule the interaction of the couple, or seen as a metaphor, [offers a] multitude of interesting reflections and fortunate clues that help us understand not only the specific nature of the Tango relationship, but its general application to other areas of life...We find pieces of our own lives in this book, seemingly caught mid-motion. It is not a still, frozen picture, but an intense, dynamic and vital image...[T]his book has heart.

Gabriel Espinosa, Historian Mexico City, Mexico

 

"The Tao of Tango The Tao of Tango" is one of the most compelling, thought-provoking, informative and sensitive books I have ever read ... The use of the Tango as a metaphor for the "dance of life" is beautiful and profound in its simplicity...your spirit will dance with this one.
