Reviews:
âIâve been a tango teacher for 10 years and Iâve never read anything quite like Pollyâs work (particularly TWMAV) that gets right to the heart of what tango relationships are all about. Itâs just filled with gems of tango wit and wisdom. Clay Nelson
Polly McBrideâ 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 âhowâ of tango, there are few that unfold its âwhatâ, 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.
