Trini,

I'd agree when it comes to local teachers; maybe they're doing it because 
there's nobody else available and they're trying to build a Tango community 
from scratch. But when it comes to visiting teachers and the organisers have 
to pay air fares, accommodation, etc., it can be a big investment and I think 
they're entitled to expect a certain standard. Also, how can organisers choose 
potential visiting teachers if no information is available. Yes, you can see them 
dance on YouTube but that says nothing about how they teach.
 
Just my opinion.
