It's all a matter of opinion I guess...  Who says what is good or
bad...   But in reality I'm simply trying to cause what *most* people
say is the way to go.., you know?  

For students to see a variety of Tango instructors.., good or bad, as
it normally goes down anyway...  Not to mention knowing a wider range
of methods and thoughts about Tango from those who actually teach
them.  Without taking the years of time, many miles of driving, and
hundreds if not thousands of dollars that it would otherwise involve.

The only thing different here is that they pay for lessons not taken.
To force them if you will to get lots of Tango instruction for free.
But they really don't have to come at all...  I said that too, you
know?   You really don't have to worry about what grownups do.  They
can make decisions for themselves.

Not to mention that we do have those here too who can't deal with the
concept of putting themselves in direct comparison to others.   It may
help people see that too, when those instructors don't get involved.

Maybe Tangoteachathon...?    That's clearer I think...  

Cheers...
