[Tango-L] women leading

[Derik Rawson]

Dear Sergio:

I think the problem with women leading the dance to
teach is the same problem that happens when the person
who plays the drums in an orchestra tries to play the
violin all the time to teach music, and the violinist
tries to teach students how to play the drums.  It
does not work well.

One has to decide what one wants to do best, and learn
ones own skill, instead of trying control everything
that everyone else is doing.  A little experience in
another person's role is OK, but when that experience
is overdone all the time, then it becomes a problem. 
The orchestra will begin to suffer because of a lack
of skilled musicians in each of there chosen fields. 
People need to spend their energies working to improve
themselves instead trying to control what others do. 
My opinion.
