Trini,
I know exactly what you're talking about and maybe I'm too cynical but I don't
think the guys who dance with women who don't take classes are looking for
feedback on their tango. I suspect their motives lie elsewhere. o_O

from my own personal experience, I stopped taking classes in my home town
because the classes were all about STEPS ('put your left leg here, and then
your right leg there...' ) I could just as easily practice technique in a

That last paragraph should say maybe because tango dancers are much
MORE likely to come into tango as their first dance rather than from
other ballroom experience where these are more frequently taught. Sorry--

We've seen countless great video examples e.g. on youtube of real tango
dancing that is truly from the music.

The idea is to find an instructor who is able to teach you what you need
to know. Tango is not really about where you put your legs, the lead

If anyone has a video of David's decent Nuevo leads who listen to and
interpret the music, just as do dancers of all stripe then, please, let

Chicho/Eugenia to El Recodo - you might not like it, but it's on the
