[Tango-L] "Stay away from self appointed tango teachers." Re:Public Service Announcement (2nd Law)

[Lois Donnay]

How about another suggestion - ask a person whose dancing you admire *where
they learned*. Especially if you are not a professional dancer who can pick
up dances easily. Go to the teacher who has put the most good dancers on the
floor.
