[Tango-L] Basta Ya!

[Deby Novitz]

Can we stop beating Derek up?  I along with probably the people who 
email me off this list are sick of hearing about this topic.  Dance 
whatever you want, where you want how you want with who you want, but 
for God's sake dance instead of pontificating that your style, his 
style, that style, no style, along with incompetent, competent, self 
appointed, anointed teachers.

I have absolutely no problem with discussions of style, music, or 
interactions.  But when a conversation turns emotional and personal, it 
is time to take it off the floor.  You are never going to convince 
anyone that their personal experience regardless of what it is, is 
wrong.  You do not have to agree with someone's experience, but you have 
to respect it whether you agree with it or no.  A person's experience is 
never wrong - it is a personal choice, which we all have the right to make.
