very well said, Victor. But then, it is hard to resist the temptation of 
seizing such  a chance to teach tango to a large audience when noone knows 
who you are. How many opportunities for such a career move does life have to 
offer outside the wondrous world of the internet where, naturally, you 
cannot see your students (maybe half of them involuntarily exposed to this) 
either?
