[Tango-L] 10,000 instructors or 1 you choose

I like your comparison of learning a second  language to tango but think 
about this...If you take lessons in Spanish for a  few months and then switch 
to German and a few months later try French you end  up not speaking any of 
them very well. I see taking endless tango lessons from  different 
instructors the same way. Everyone is going to teach differently so  your poor brain 
is going to explode trying to figure out who's instruction to  follow. Find 
someone local to your area  that you would like to emulate and  stick with 
them. 
Whenever a visiting teacher is coming to your area you can  get a pretty 
good look at how they dance on you tube and on rare occasions one  will dance 
the style that suits your taste.The best local social dancers I see  are 
those that have followed this method.

Learning to dance traditional Argentine  Tango
is like learning a second language..it's often  frustrating
and often a miracle.. in my own case it's been two  steps forward and two 
steps back.
Now, recently I've  heard the theory that; 'He started dancing too late in 
life'...ugh, how  many
times have I heard this about learning a second  language?  ...the only 
thing to do is to keep on  dancing.
OK..my new learning theory for A.T.  is this; just when everything seems to 
be falling apart, this is exactly  when and where the new leap forward will 
occur!  ...and so, hang in  there and experience the mess to it's fullest, 
you 
are about to exit the  dark tunnel into broad daylight and with a beautiful 
new 
fluency that will  make it all worthwhile!  The ugly duckling becomes the  
swan.
