I watched a documentary from Argentina about the  old master tango 
musicians coming together with young talented musicians to  teach them the technique 
of how to play the original tango sound. 
Although  the young musicians had old videos, original sheet music and live 
recordings of  the old masters they were unable to get the same sound no 
matter how many times  they listened to the recordings or watched the videos. 
It was impossible without  the help of the old masters showing them special 
secrets only they knew. The  point is no matter how many times you watch a 
video there is something going on  below the surface that is undetectable 
even if you consider yourself advanced  there is no substitute for learning one 
on one from a master teacher. 
The  question is can you learn to dance tango from watching a video? And 
the answer  is… Yes you can. 
Another question would be can you learn to dance tango WELL  from watching 
a video ????
