Mario,
Yes, Tango-L is a place for newbies.
However, since you seem to have the time, and because I feel it will 
answer many of your questions (because they've been asked many times 
before), I suggest you read ALL of the archives from the beginning.(1994).

I did.
I found: answers to many of my questions, stuff that worked for me, 
stuff that didn't work, interesting ideas, helpful comments, etc.
I also found nonsense -- still worth reading.

We sometimes disagree with each other because it is our personal 
Tango -- we dance in the style and way we want to.
We don't know it all -- Argentine Tango is a lifetime of learning.
I'm 78 years old and know I'll never know it all -- I still take 
lessons, listen to opinions, and try to improve on what works for me 
in the ronda I'm in and floor I'm on -- crowded, uncrowded, good 
dancers, not so good dancers, etc..

In the weekly practica I run, we exchange ideas, explore movement, 
help and learn from each other, and still dance our own individual AT.

FYI, the archives are at:
