[Tango-L] Getting to Expert - or, Do you Work on your Axis?

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

When you and your partner reach a more advanced level
of tango, you just might be glad of the way he
processes tango.  Nerdiness becomes a big plus. 
Really good tango is in the details.

But I understand your dilemma.  Nice solution.

P.S.  I would be more upset with the teachers for
letting him monopolize class time.
