"The idea for the Exchange is something that so rarely happens in
Tango, most definitely NEVER at a Milonga.

And what is that something ? Its the open sharing of knowledge.
Stop and think about it for a moment."


Miles,
Exactly.
Good dancers never stop at milonga to think for a moment..
They just dance and realize new ideas right in the dance.
This is one of the pleasures of tango.
Stopping and discussing means creating something artificial. But tango is
natural.
Every dance is new, and on some level you will start invening new figures.
This is amazing. Body does it itself - Body Mind. And it is better to come
there in your own way.

"In Argentine Tango, the keepers of the knowledge (teachers) have to
make a living somehow and they hold that knowledge unless of course
you pay for their time and their expertise."

No, Miles.
Argentine tango knowledge is in that living orgainzm called Milonga.
Teachers only grasp what is going on and convey to their students. The best
teachers. Others are just fakes.
Do not take too many classes, just go and dance. Dance as best as you can.
