[Tango-L] Effective Practice

[Igor Polk]

Perfectionists !!! :)))

It one letter you say it take at least 20 years ( based on Trini's
experience. With you, dare I ask? ) it takes for a man to develop listening
skills.

In another you blame me that it took me just 5 years "to figure out a
move that you wanted to learn". Mind you, it took me 5 years not of
practicing it ! But accumulating enough skill and knowledge so that the move
HAPPENED ITSELF. And other things. And of course, I did practiced. Something
else. 

I think, this discussion is quite pointless without specifying what skill,
what move to practice.

Mediocre does not mean "good enough". It usually means "not good enough".

Contrary to what you say, there is no "Perfect". But "Good enough" exists.

And that is wrong too. Perfect things are everywhere. Every art piece is
perfect.
Haven't you ever experienced a perfect dance?
I am sure you did.

Igor.

yourself who is a better tango dancer and where it is
better to dedicate time if you have too little of this
asset.

Hi Igor, Sean here.

Neither is the better tango dancer. The better tango dancer
is the one who does both! I am surprised that you cannot
figure this out. Especially since I already told you the
answer when I started this thread. It is about "Effective
Practice". I am sorry it took you 5 years to figure out a
move that you wanted to learn. Clearly your methods are NOT
effective.

In another post you asked Keith if none of his skills were
"good enough". I won't speak for him, but I suspect his
answer would be similar to mine, which is no. There is no
"Good Enough". Every skill will be improved, for the rest
of my life. Perhaps you do not understand the phrase "Good
enough". As you have used it, it means "mediocre". And that
is never good enough.

Sean
