How do you disable regional lockout on DVD players?
I need to where I can go to learn how to disable the regional settings for my DVD player. I like to watch foreign films, and the ones I really like I legally obtain for my own personal movie collection. I bought "The Tango Lesson" from a UK website because the movie in DVD form was not available anywhere in the US. When I finally received it, I was surprised to find that I could not play it because of it having a regional setting of ‘2′ and my DVD player only played region ‘1′. So I really need some good advice on how I may be able to fix this situation before trying to buy a multi-regional DVD player. (BTW, do those really work?)
Here is the website that has all the hacks…

Where can I buy in the UK a cd of Rudolph Valentino Tangos or popular tangos (la paloma/blue tango etc)?
If you have a good idea of what you’re looking for…I’d use the internet. eBay, amazon.com, etc. You could search for particular CDs on somthing like shopping.com…not much help as I’m in the states, but I rarely go to stores for CDs any more – I use the ‘net.
Good luck.

Download Tango Maureen for free?
Ok I’m making a video to "The Tango Maureen" from the movie version of RENT. All I need is the guitar part where Mark and Joanne take off their jackets. Anyone know where it is?
You can download the audio track for that song from iTunes for about a buck.

To all the ages 15 to 50 years old Argentine Tango dancers?
What motivated you to take up Argentine Tango? What, for a lack of a better term, seduced you to concentrate on Argentine Tango?
I first started dancing tango in Buenos Aires when I was about thirteen years old. I was there for the summer to study Spanish, and my dad insisted that I look into tango lessons, so I asked my Spanish school for a recommendation.
Even though I don’t remember learning my first tango steps, I do remember my first teacher. She was an astounding young woman and I remember wanting to dance–and to be–just like her. I took private lessons that whole summer, then returned the next summer to Buenos Aires to study Spanish again, though really I had gone back to dance!
I don’t really remember a time when I didn’t know how to dance tango, though my life is definitely divided into a pre- and post-tango period. Now, I dance around eight hours a week. It’s less an obsession than it is simply part of my life, like a relationship you have with a best friend or a sister. In fact, it’s like a relationship in a lot of ways: sometimes, tango is a wonderful experience, full of nothing but joy and beauty, but sometimes it’s very rocky and difficult.
I’ve never danced any other dance, and I don’t think I want to–unless it will help me improve my tango. My relationship with the dance is kind of a one-sided monogamy: I’m exclusive with tango, but it’s seeing lots of other people!
I don’t really believe in dance as catharsis: I don’t dance to "express myself" or "blow off steam". I like a quote from Fred Astaire, where he said, "I have no desire to prove anything by dancing…I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around." When I dance tango, I just dance to be there, in that moment, dancing tango. Sometimes it seems like a good metaphor for life: connecting with another person, listening to your partner, supporting your own weight and finding your own balance. But I think I mostly dance to feel like a part of something larger than myself. Tango isn’t flashy, it doesn’t make a good show, but it feels right.

What is the difference in the soles of Men’s ballroom dance shoes and tango dance shoes?
Which are the best to do Michael Jackson moonwalks in?
I use my ballroom shoes for tango, but tango shoes have a higher heals and some have smooth leather bottoms instead of suede. Both should work fine but tango shoes take a little getting used to.

Where do I get virus-free free sheet music for ‘Tango Argentino’?
Please help I need it urgently! No virus sites!Please
The question is too vague. There must be dozens of pieces called Tango Argentino or Argentine Tango or any variation thereof.
Can you give us a composer?
Or you could search for your self with the title, the composer and ".pdf". You should come up with at least a few hits that way.

how is milonga diffrent from tango?
The tango and the milonga, while different genres within Argentine music, are closely related. But how so? And, if they are different genres, what is the tango milonga? A misleading use of these terms has only contributed to generate more confusion. This article, although not a comprehensive musicological or historical study of these genres, aims to answer these questions and to clarify the terms.
The milonga, which precedes the tango in history, was a solo song cultivated during the 19th Century by the gaucho (a sort of Argentine cowboy) in the vast rural area known as the Pampa. It derives from the payada de contrapunto, in which two singers (payadores), accompanying themselves on the guitar, improvised on different topics in a competition-like practice. The verses were octosyllabic quartets structured in a musical period of eight measures in 2/4. The term milonga is an African-Brazilian term that means words, that is, the words of the payadores. It may be named rural milonga in order to distinguish it from later developments of the genre.
Around 1880, through the Conquista del Desierto (the conquest of the desert), the Argentine government made possible the fencing of the Pampa and the subsequent distribution of the land into large properties for aristocratic owners and small plots of land for European immigrants, who were arriving in Argentina in large numbers. This forced the almost nomadic gauchos to settle down in the poorest suburban areas of the capital, Buenos Aires. Their adaptation to city life was difficult, and frequently they lived marginal lives of crime. Eventually they were called compadritos, a word used to denote a person with an aggressive character.
The relationship between the compadritos and the African-Argentine population in the Buenos Aires suburbs gave birth to the tango dance, which started as a result of the compadritos’ mockery of the black people’s dances with an important difference: the blacks danced separated and the compadritos danced embraced. Diverse historians affirm that the word tango derives from the name (in the slang of the black people) of their dancing places, known as tambos and, later, tangos . It is widely accepted that the mocking new choreography was taken to the brothels by the compadritos before tango music really existed as such. Eventually, music was created to fit this dance, and it is not strange that the rural milonga and the habanera, in fashion at the time, influenced it. Trial-and-error adaptations to the new dance, bringing together the rural milonga of the gauchos, the habanera of the European immigrants, and the African-Argentine dances in the melting pot that was Buenos Aires, created a mixture called tango.
