Well, I've only completed four months as an aggressive Tangobaby student/dancer howevrer I have a lot of experience in studying/teaching second language fluency and already I can make a comparison between both.
Just as no Spanish Language teacher expects to see a second language fluency in their students, also no dance teacher expects Tango fluency in theirs. It's all about more classes and it's all about what is best for the teacher.
The above is of course a generality and my own opinion but in my own progress I've noticed that I can already dance the Milonga with fluency and fun, something that I cannot say about my Tango dancing. The BIG difference between the two is that I've never taken a class in the Milonga. I can assure you that I'm going to keep it that way and although the Vals doesn't particularly grab me, I've decided to go for mastering the Vals now before I ruin my chances by taking a class in it.
sincerely, .Mario
