[Tango-L] Learning Tango

[buffmilonguera@aol.com]

well said Astrid - I have found it to be an almost universal rule.....a 
frequent corollary - these guys never waste time teaching any one about 
walking - but they looooove leg wraps and ganchos!

Have you joined the Buffalo Argentine Tango Society Yahoo! group yet? 
It's easy, and the best way to make sure you know what we're doing and 
what's going on with the Argentine tango in and around Buffalo......go 
to www.yahoo.com > select Groups > search for Buffalo Argentine Tango 
Society > follow the directions to join BATS_tango.  Thanks!

Keith,
you forgot to say that those men who are so eager to "teach" the 
newcomers
are more often than not those who are so mediocre themselves that the 
better
dancers won't dance with them much or are at least not ready to give 
them
the ego-boost they are hoping for.
