Ah, a sample heavily biased towards those who discuss it...

Sean, may I suggest you invest in a simple statistics textbook? ;)

>>> or Brits are less savy consumers than Yanks.

Well, certainly it is the less savvy Brits who are consuming the classes. 
The more savvy prefer to spend their tango time in milongas.

However I accept things are different on your side of the pond. For 
example I see your current Pittsburgh tango society agenda offers about 20 
classes and 1 milonga. Clearly over there class consumption is all the rage.

I wonder what you'd make of the scene here in Europe Sean. One day I'd 
like to take you to the half-dozen most popular milongas in one of our 
tango capitals. The number of them that run tango classes is... zero.

No Chris, whatever gave you the idea that I took lessons
from most teachers in the US? May I suggest that you invest
in a simple logic textbook?

I have discussed tango pedagogy with a statistically
significant number of US teachers, most of whom were either
teachers or students in the late 1990s. The gradual
evolution from teaching steps to teaching dance almost
always comes up in these discussions, given my personal
history of railing against step pattern teachers a few
years ago. I am very confident in the accuracy of my
analysis.
