If You Really Want to Know Tango...
If you want to know Tango...you must go to the Tango.
Give your partner everything (Don't hold back or dance half heartedly...Emotions are a good thing in Tango.)
Listen to Tango Music. (The better you know it, the better your dancing will become.)
Learn about the Lyrics. (This will change the way you dance.)
Understand the Culture. (It is different from yours...more often than not.)
Follow the Codicos. (They were developed over a long period of time and are there for good reason.)
Dance to Tango Music. (Something is lost when Tango is danced to non-tango music. It is fun from time to time to dance to alternative music but not if it is done too often.)
Step Outside of your Comfort Zone.
'Respect the roots... so they don't die'

San Pugliese (Saint Pugliese)
"In the hard-core of Tango, Osvaldo inhabits the axis. He's the hard stuff. A 12 year old single malt as opposed to a cooler...If he is an acquired taste, that alone indicates how deep into Tango people are..."

Tango Tales
I recently came across a very interesting website, on which can be heard a Tango oriented Internet radio/podcast site.
I have so far only listened to a couple of the archived broadcasts available at that site, here is one that I really enjoyed.
How People Dance
This is broadcast in three tracks including both commentary on the subject as well as some great musical interludes totaling about 50 minutes and can be listened to, or downloaded.
The rest of the archives can be found here

Tom Waits
The original video I had posted here was taken down, too bad...it had some great tango related footage...still the song is genius...and fun to dance to.
