[Tango-L] Learning Tango

[Mario]

Hi keith,
   I stand corrected, you are right, Chris seems to rule out all topics of teaching as valuable.
   I, on the other hand, have been often seduced by such topics as; musicality, axis, navigation..none of which ever produced anything valuable.
   I have, however, found Tango-L posts by Tom Stermitz (teacher) very illuminating...hmmm strange, huh?

Indeed what goes by these words in classes are all to often just 
fabrications; artifacts of the instructional model rather than aspects of 
the dance itself.... Chris U.K.
