I'm glad he's finally come out and stated his belief. It'll help people
appreciate why his kind of teaching is so detrimental to those for whom
the music is the foundation of the dance.
> He is missing the essence of tango.
For me, his most revealing comment is:
At a certain moment, there arose the need to technically identify every
single thing done in dancing
There arose that need in him, evidently. But goodness only knows where he
got the notion that anyone else needs their rainbows unweaving...
