Beatriz Dujovne dispels the myths surrounding the dance and probes the heart of the tango in an honest and accurate portrayal of the dance and its allure."--Alex Krebs, tango dancer and musician.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Beatriz Dujovne</b> was born and raised in Buenos Aires, and has lived half of her adult life in the American Midwest.
