[Tango-L] 10,000 instructors on the wall

[Mario]

 I certainly and wholeheartedly agree with the previous post about the confusion 
of taking class from every 'teacher' who comes down the pike...  in fact, I've 
been thinking on posting on the 'Care and feeding of male leads' that a BIG 
reason for the high dropout rate is exactly that...the confusion and defeat 
experienced by new male leads when confronted with teacher after teacher 
'instructing' them on what is right and what is wrong...ugh
 With a less intense commercial atmosphere, perhaps a dancer could be left 
somewhat to his own devices and the feedback of the dance and dance partner to 
evolve his own personal style and go on to focus on other things...like the 
music and the enjoyment of the dance.   

One obvious fact that I can point to is that there seems to be a BIG LACK of 
anyone attempting to help the poor newbie lead to at first master the ronda, the 
line of dance and the simple but infinitely rich walks and turns that would 
allow him to attend milongas, dance and enjoy the experience.... No, far from 
that, the emphasis is instead on figures that no one ever seems to master or use 
and the hype of the class as THE place to practice dance and NOT the milonga 
itself....  think about it, I see this everywhere I've been and if you are not 
seeing it...lucky you!
