[Tango-L] Lots of questions

[Jack Dylan]

For once, I completely disagree with Charles.

My teacher likes to tell beginners that an 8-week beginner course 
is ALL about developing a connection with your partner. Until you 
do that, you're dancing alone and that just isn't Tango at all.

Any good teacher should be able to connect with a female student 
quite quickly and she'll then know what a good connection is and 
she'll be able to dance Tango with any good leader. For the men, 
I agree that it's a lot more difficult but it's still what he should be 
aiming for from the very first set of lessons. 

What's the alternative - just learn some steps?

Tango without a connection is nothing.
