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

[Derik Rawson]

Dear Tine:

Everyone learns something, from everyone, but if you
leave out the forward ocho, I will look elsewhere for
that...lol.

PS-  I dance close embrace 60 to 80 percent of the
time, but I get bored with it, and so do most
Argentine Tango dancers around the world, except the
US Americans, which do it "all the time".  There is
more to life than close embrace.  The forward ocho is
part of that...lol.  Have a great day.
