[Tango-L] Interesting Tango Listing

[Gordon Erlebacher]

Personally I prefer it that way. If I respect a teacher for his/her 
knowledge, it does not even matter if they simply discuss the basic 
sequence since there is so much one can do. the problem is that many 
people want steps, steps, sequences, sequences, rather than good old 
fashioned technique. A 8-step basic well executed feeds into so many 
other aspects of tango ...

I do believe it will impact how people will choose workshops.

This is what normally happens in Buenos Aires and the purpose is to give the instructors an opportunity to first observe the particular group in the classroom to determine what would be the best topic to teach. They believe that many factors contribute toward the actual level of dancing and request this courtesy to craft a lesson that adapts to what the students in each class can best perceive.
