daniel trenner lives in northampton ma and his students are definitely encouraged to switch roles from day one. i also encourage students locally to switch and experiment. it's easier for both danny and i because the two of us teach in colleges... amherst, mt holyoke, bard, williams college... personally, i find that younger students are more open to switching roles.
i always lead at milongas and have been known to lead at milongas in buenos aires. porteno y bailerin, la viruta, la marshall and milongas that la vikinga hosts are generally open to "alternative" pairing. i heard recently that the milonga that uses the same space as la marshall on another night, asks a woman who was leading and another that was wearing sneakers to leave. please note that i'm passing on information which i didn't witness. jackie www.tangopulse.net _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
