Tango Terminology - an attempt to organize tango terms.
Tango Terminology A pains taking shot gun blast at tango terminology with lots of familiar and obscure terms you are likely to here. Remember, tango has no true syllabus so there is no standard.
Tango Styles of Dancing Generated with the same shot gun, this is an over view of tango styles.
Prosaic Points to Ponder - From the mind of a thoughful tanguera.
The Tango Scene in Arizona - Where to dance. Where to study. Tango galore in Arizona - as many styles as there are instructors (as there are dancers, that's what makes tango great!).

Online Tango CDs to order - Very large selection of tango, milonga and vals on CD.
More Tango Food of Thought - There are a lot of opinions floating around the internet, these have been well read and discussed – remember: and opinion is just someone’s version of a very old and very passionate story.
Videos – A list of Master Performing to Poema - Nice interpretations of one of the prettiest tangos ever written.
TangoIslands.com a great non-profit tango site.
Be aware that some of these sites order their shoes from Argentina or other countries so expect 4-6 week shipping delays.
Tara Tango Shoes: Purchased my first tango shoes from Tara. I still have them and they are still danceable. However, I do find them on the stiff side with a hard sole. Tara's shoes can be purchased at many Tango festivals as well as on-line.
Guaranteed Fit: Website located in Canada - places order to Argentina - at least 6 weeks. Have ordered shoes from them and they fit very well and are comfortable to dance in. What I like about their shoes is that they offer a Performance style which gives a very flexible sole similar to what you get in a standard ballroom shoe. Gives me better contact with the floor. I found customer service to be a bit slow on responding, but I did get what I ordered. Have not worn them enough yet to comment on durability, but I do like them and I have ordered a pair of practice shoes from them.
Jorge Nel Shoes: 4-6 week delivery times. I have also purchased shoes from them. They are very well made, but I found them to be quite hard and stiff. Keep in mind though, I purchased only closed-toe shoes and as I have foot problems, it hurts to dance in them. As such I will not be using them. I would however, buy an open-toed shoe from them to see if they would be better for me as I do like the quality and the design options.
Star Dance Shop: Reasonably priced and has a Tango collection. Have brought a number of ballroom shoes from them and have been very satisfied. Haven't tried their tango shoes yet.
DanceShoes 4U: Reasonably priced. Have not purchased yet, but only because I have not found a style, heel, size combination.
DanceSport Shoes: Middle to high end prices and selections. Have purchased from them and they are satisfactory.
Champion Dance Shoes: Middle to high end prices and selections. Have not purchased from this site.
