[Tango-L] Off the Beat

[Michael]

Brujo:
Put on Pugliese's "La Yumba" and watch him walk alone to the music. If he is 
still off beat, that means he is NOT focusing on the music, but on steps. 
Stand next to him, put your arm over his shoulder, and walk him to the music 
showing him where the beat is. If he can find the beat during the exercise 
but NOT when he dances, his focus is lost. He is concentrating on figures 
and not the music. You need to tell him if he can't figure it out from the 
exercise.

I have a student who is consistently off the beat with his steps and 
figures. What is the best way to diplomatically correct this problem? Any of 
you instructors out there -- how do you fix this?
