Reviews:

“I’ve been a tango teacher for 10 years and I’ve never read anything quite 
like Polly’s work (particularly TWMAV) that gets right to the heart of what 
tango relationships are all about.  It’s just filled with gems of tango wit and 
wisdom.  Clay Nelson

Polly McBride’ third book on tango, Tango With Mars And Venus is an important 
reading for those seeking to understand the psychology of the dance.  Written 
with great humor and profound understanding, it provides insight into the 
minds and hearts of our partners on and off the floor. I highly recommend it to 
tango dancers of any skill level.   Peter Tofalvi

While some books describe the ‘how’ of tango, there are few that unfold its ‘
what’, and none do it more fully, humorously, or knowledgably than Polly 
McBride. In this book she presents the complex, complicated and often convoluted 
universe within, between, and around those who dance tango; bringing the 
insights and understanding of her long experience, acknowledged expertise, and 
admitted addiction. You can spend twenty years in the tango world and learn what it 
is by trial and error, or you can read this travel guide to educate and 
entertain you on your journey. I recommend the latter. Scott H. Forbes

Polly has a gift of writing and her humor makes me laugh out loud. Tango with 
Venus and Mars is an insight to tango and life and I found myself wondering 
how she put it all in words.

"TWMAV offers a very thorough view of the Argentine Tango culture that all 
levels of dancers can relate to - written with a most engaging style." Norm 
Horii
