[Tango-L] Everyone's "one of the most respected and well-known dancers in BA

[Igor Polk]

There is only two ways to find who is the best teacher for you.

1. Take lessons from ALL of them ! Considering that one has to take at least
100 group lessons to start dancing it is not much. ( you are not taking a
private class if you do not know him, are you? ). Besides there is no the
BEST teacher and there are very few really BAD teachers. Every teacher is
good in something. It all depends on you, him, the group of students, and
the day of the year.

2. Buy ALL tapes you can find. Here you will find who is the best teacher
( videotaped ) for you in a much cheaper way. And besides, the record stays
with you for future reference. Say, 20% of useful tapes per 80% of not so
useful tapes is an excellent ratio which completely pays off. With time your
priorities will change. That is the way it is. And you already have tapes!

Still,
- a good teacher dances. And he dances well with beginners too. If he does
not dance - he is not good. Yes, not all good dancers can be good teachers.
But a good teacher must be a good dancer.

That is about it.. Recommendations? I do not believe them.
