Stephen Brown says about:

For someone who already has a basic knowledge of tango (as taught with the eight-count basic) and wants to learn vals, Ricardo and Rotraut have produced a DVD that could prove to be the perfect place to start. Their instruction covers a variety of step patterns and techniques incorporating walks, ochos, a colgada, giros, enrosques, boleos and sacadas as variations on the eight-count basic. The DVD provides a comprehensive overview of vals, and anyone who masters all the material on the DVD should be quite comfortable dancing vals. The extensive coverage is evidenced when Ricardo and Rotraut conclude their instruction by dancing a demonstration that uses only the elements they've taught without conveying any sense of limitation. Assuming their viewers already have a basic knowledge of tango instruction is not particularly detailed for material covered in Ricardo's and Nicole's Curso de Tango. When new material is introduced, however, the instruction is quite careful and well explained. As such, the DVD would be most useful to those who are new to vals but already have a basic understanding of tango as taught with the eight-count basic. Many viewers are likely to find occasional use of the slow-motion and rewind buttons essential. The viewer can choose one of seven languages-Spanish, English, German, French, Italian, Portugese and Japanese-for a combination of dubbed and voice over explanations. The DVD also includes bonus footage of vals dancing in Buenos Aires.
