making women happy on the dance floor:
HOW TO IMPROVISE
WITH GREATER SKILL & CONFIDENCE
and lead your partners in tandas they will love!
Many tango lovers say that, although Osvaldo Pugliese's music is beautiful and inspiring, it's the most challenging orchestra to dance to.
What if you had the knowledge and practice under your belt to improvise to Pugliese as easily as you do to Di Sarli or Caló?
Here is a low-cost program that will help you learn and practice dancing to a tango
that's been thoroughly analyzed for you - Pugliese's “Mala Junta” (1943).
It gives you a 3-tool method to learn how to dance confidently to “Mala Junta,” including the trickiest musical elements! With this guided process of study and practice, you’ll improve your musical interpretation, phrase by phrase, even if you don't have a practice partner.
This mini-training will give you a foundation to dance well to other tangos, too.

Who's this mini-training for?
Unlike with my big program, Tango Musicality Mojo, which I designed for analytical tangueros, this small but meaty program is for tangueros and couples who don't want to do any analysis, but just want helpful information and instructions and rapid results. I've done all the music analysis for you and given you answers in the Cheat Sheet!
Note: all these media files are from the first half of Mala Junta. Why? The second half of this tango is almost identical to the first. What's extra in the second half is the 4-phrase speedy bandoneon variation at the end. Beto & Lis show some bandoneon variation options in an earlier phrase. So, if you master the first half of this tango, which you can do with the media tools in this mini-training, you can "nail" the whole tango . . . and you'll be on your way to dancing to Pugliese with greater ease and confidence because you will have done the work of serious, guided practice!
You can use this mini-training collection of audio files, demo videos, and cheat-sheet details & suggestions to practice dancing effectively to "Mala Junta" for a few months - and come back whenever you like to cycle through it again to go deeper!
"I followed your [Mala Junta] tutorial with pleasure and learned many things. First, to listen to and interpret musical tempos. My tango has definitely improved and I thank you. I hadn't seen the videos for about three months and recently went back. Every time I find new things. If you think about creating other shorts let me know." Antonino
