[Tango-L] endemic

[sherpal1@aol.com]

I have studied tango since 98 with Timmy tango and have taken many workshops 
as well as a dozen trips to BA.  I am constantly learning and discovering new 
keys to improve my follow, interpret the dance, etc.  What is ultimately quite 
galling is women who study for  6 months, then decide they know enough and 
stop studying meanwhile dancing with the men in the community who actually are 
improving but who get corrupted by the follows who dance with all sorts of bad 
habits for which the leads have to compensate, which prevents the leads from 
having a continuous advancing growth curve.  I find that the reason many men 
stall out is because they dance with newer women for the joy of intrigue, not 
realizing that their own abilities become compromised.  In general: women who do 
not keep up their tango studies can ultimately drag down a community. Sherrie
