Hi Nina,
This reminds me of my old-standing gripe with the good museums, and albums and monographs for that matter. As all of them contain great art to the exclusion of mediocre or poor, the lack of comparison opportunity contributes to excellence being lost on non-specialist viewers.

Hello, Lucia, Manuel, and everyone,
Thank you for your e-mails! I am with you and I am grateful for your
clear, loud voices.
I have come to a conclusion that we need the tango slobs. All of them
- DJs, teachers, etc. We need them in tango communities as a filter.
Dancers know the difference and are able to choose. Even the rank
beginners! We also need them to help certain essence of tango to
emerge through contrast. People feel it at their core when the music
is good. But the good music will not be appreciated if it is always
taken for granted. So we need events with bad music to know the
difference.
Warmest regards,
Nina
