After a short burst of high creativity, it looks like Tango-L has fallen back into dullsville.
  OK..here's something to perk up the napes of the Tango-L sharpshooters.
  I'm working on a thesis that Tango classes may be where the real Tango has gone to.
  Chris U.K. not withstanding, there is a lot to recommend spending a weekend in workshops
  and classes rather than Milongas. Shall I ennumerate?...(is that like master....?)
  first of all; one gets to dance in classes and maybe not get to dance in Milongas.
  second: one gets to dance with lots of different partners. 'teachers' know to 'change partners'
  every mini-move and therein is the real allure of the class..to dance with that person that we
  would be afraid to ask otherwise.
  third: You only have to 'put up' with a dance partner for a couple of minutes...it's a lot lighter
  than going thru the commitment of a 4 dance tanda..and who could even make that decision
  to Tanda to begin with? Some of us are just not ready for the drama.
  fourth: There is intellectual stimulation as well as physical in a class..the teachers are there
  to involve and entertain you....
  I'm running out of acceptable post size here and so I will leave the rest up to you..it's easy to ennumerate many advantages to spending a night in a class rather than a Milonga..
  and since Tango means $$$$ perhaps the class will be THE venue of the future.
  Heck, if we serve cheese and wine and have breaks, etc. etc. ..the class could be THE new Tango!
