[Tango-L] How does one 'learn' and 'grow' in Arg. tango....acording to me.

[Mario]

 Well, I want to say a few words against 'learning' and 'growing'.
 Yes that's right and at the risk of sounding 'inappropriate' and
 all those other finger-slapping middle-class school marm words
 that are meant to keep us quiet and buying more of whatever it
 is that someone is selling.
 I have just completed my third year at 'learning' Argentine tango.
 There were many 'stages' that I had to navigate including not having
  a clue after a year's worth of trying hard...OK, here's my take on 
 'learning' and 'growing' in Arg. tango....first of all what it doesn't mean
 is; adding more steps, joining the open embrace swingers, taking more classes.
  What those stern, finger-wagging words mean to me at this point is;
  Making your own dance your own...making it more and more a visceral part
  of who you are...to the point where no one else can 'teach' you your dance.
  To the point where you and the music are one...to the point where your dance 
   partner has a really unique experience everytime you dance.
   To the point where being 'better' or 'worse' are meaningless words
    Where the dance becomes a poem, a passionate experience, the wind
    and the night sky.
