[Tango-L] Call to Tango...

[Igor Polk]

"Another issue of contention is that the teachers don't dance with the
students, they prefer to observe. That bugs me because they can't always
"see" what the problem is - I would appreciate it if they would dance with
my partner if I was having problems with the feel of his leading."

When a teacher observes, he can see not only your problems, but problems
with the whole group, and collects his thoughts what can be done to fix it.

I prefer teachers to observe. But, of course they should do whatever they
feel is the best.

The teacher can step in and serve as an extra partner if a group is small
and he knows what goes on between everyone well, but you are wrong to demand
it from a teacher - this is an extra service beyond what is needed for a
lesson. Want personal advice? Take a private class !
