[Tango-L] Effective Practice

> Chris ... also encourages followers to learn just by dancing

Quite why you think that's a crime Keith, I cannot fathom. Many good 
teachers encourage it. Not least by giving privates to girls wanting more 
of it than they can (as yet) get in the milongas.

Good question. Let's forgive the mediocre dancers who teach, because, as 
you say, they know no better. The responsibility lies with the community 
leaders who hire them to teach the classes.
