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

Yes Giovanni each instructor is teaching a  different dialect within tango 
that’s the point I’m trying to make. 
If you  have a good Salon instructor in your area and take lessons only 
from him for  years you will emulate him on the dance floor. Friends will watch 
you dance and  be able to recognize his teaching in your dancing.
Those who take lessons  continually from various instructors that are each 
teaching different methods of  tango are also easy to spot some of them seem 
to be dancing German polka or  Spanish flamingo mixed in with the tango.

The second language comparison is somewhat correct. The correct  comparison 
is all the Tango instructor are teaching Tango; however each  instructor is 
teach a dialect within the tango. Tango instructor are teaching  tango, not 
a German polka or Spanish flamingo, etc.

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.
