[Tango-L] Milonga 101 -- conversation between dances

[Carol Shepherd]

When you get to a certain level of dance where you are seeing a lot of 
basic building blocks and patterns of steps over and over again, what 
you get out of lessons is very different.

I am happy with any lesson, even a lesson teaching choreography, if I 
take away just one important insight or mechanical improvement or style 
point about my dance, posture, balance, form, from the instructors.

I don't expect to ever repeat the lesson choreography because that's a 
lead's issue.  If they don't lead it, I can't follow it.  If I even try 
to think about some choreography I learned somewhere sometime I lose my 
ability to listen and respond to what the leader is actually leading.
