[Tango-L] Qualifying Tango Instructors

[Joe Grohens]

 > -- Understanding of what the word "arrastre" means (in the music)
I hope you will explain this fourth "skill" so that I can start  
working towards my minimum qualifcations.

Is it when the bass player does one of those ascending glissandos?

Or is it when the violinists scrape their fingers across the strings  
below the bridge?

Or is it when the pianist runs his hand up and down the keys?

Or is it when the bandoneons drag their chairs across the stage prior  
to the concert?

Gosh -- do all the qualified instructors really know this one?
