Stephen there are in fact many more people who have proposed or authored
their own
systemization of tango.

- Mauricio Castro's tango discovery system
- Los Dinzels wrote An Anxious Quest for Freedom and also several dance
manuals
- Juan Carlos Copes wrote Bailemos Tango
- Christine Dennisten
- Chan Park "Tango Zen"

Unlike other books on Tango which focus on history, culture, travel or
music, these books
are about dance techniques, body concepts, and lead-follow.  Nowadays we
see less
instructors spending time to write down their ideas as they can just
tape the presentation
for their instructional video.  But reading the words bring out the
author's intention more
clearly.
