Correct. The average social dancer thinks that just being on the beat is
dancing to the music.

Exactly my point: it gets us to the point where it's no longer

Defining “advanced” for the purposes of workshops or classes isn’t as difficult
as it seems. Few people become
Jack:
I think men and women have DIFFERENT definitions of advanced. Men seem to be
fixated on figures so advanced means being able to lead difficult figures well.
(A woman can tell if a figure is lead well, not necessarily the man.) Women
aren't focused on figures as much as men. MY definition

It would be even better if labels were eliminated COMPLETELY. I read one
festival where intermediate was defined as dancing for 3 years and advanced
was defined as dancing for 3 years. Are labels used to describe milongas? Are
milongas advertised as advanced, intermediate, or beginner?

Second thing is to put requirements up to get into an advanced workshop.
I'm not really sure what constitutes an 'advanced dancer'. But, IMHO, to become
one requires a lot of private lessons. After that, is there really any point in

People who have been taking tango lessons for 2 years - 3 years - 4, 5, or
even more. But they still don't get it.
They can't do much, because their basics are so bad. Poor walking, posture,
timing, arm leading, watching their feet. Often caused by poor

Lois:
Part of dancing well is having awareness. Your community did that man a great
favor by opening his eyes even though ignorance is bliss. To paraphrase Colonel
Nathan Jessep in the movie A Few Good Men, He couldn't handle the truth.
How he dealt with the revelation is his problem. There's
suspect if women won't dance with them, they'll soon find a
new hobby or venue (like the man in Lois' post, who was never seen again).
My two cents (if it's even worth that).
