The price of this Gustavo seminar is about 3x normal. And 3x the price of 
the last comparable event I heard of hereabouts - Los Ocampos in London.

...are the most expensive European classes you could have chosen. Partly 
due to the 2x festival factor. Not a good example of normal, Huck.

Here's another comparison - round here, that $750 is entrance to 100 
milongas. Regular dancers don't spend that kind of money on a single 
seminar. Gustavo's customers will be almost exclusively teachers and other 
tango workers, including those just buying a CV entry for good RoI.

You're misinformed. They haven't taught workshops in Europe for years.
