Now that Argentine would have an outstanding amount of nerve, honesty and
self confidence (compared to the rest). I would like to meet him. The usual
policy is: if you are Argentine, you can dance after two lessons, you are a
worthy partner of all the visiting teachers, and you get to translate in
classes, even if you don't know what you are talking about.
If you are not Argentine, you have to either be very pretty and half nude,
or you have to have danced for at least 7 years before they are ready to
acknowledge you to be anywhere near their prowess.
I have only heard someone as dignified and as experienced at tango as Nito
Garcia say:"I learn from my students."
