But, like I say, maybe I'm just too
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
milonga or in my own living room, without the 'pleasure ' of being
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
comes first, the legs follow that.

back muscles and can injure them.
