[Tango-L] Four Layers of Tango Learning

[dchester@charter.net]

Steve (or anyone else for that matter),

Would you be so kind as to explain what you mean by "Structure of the Dance"?  I think I understand the other three layers you listed (although I suppose I could be wrong about those), but I'm quite sure about not understanding the third layer you mentioned.

As you might guess, I'm a beginner to Tango (almost 5 months into it), but so far it's been a fun hobby to enjoy with my wife.

Thanks,

David

As I see it, there are four layers of tango learning (from the top to the 
foundation). 
 
4) Step Patterns and Choreographies 
3) Structure of the Dance 
2) Quality of Movement 
1) Rhythm - the foundation
