For couples, we find that 1.5 hours works better than just an hour for both the man and the woman to get the attention each needs.
If cost is an issue for privates, you and a partner can just split the hour. The other person can take notes for the one doing the lesson. For less experienced dancers, this can be a good way to get enough info to work on without exploding the budget or the brain. I'm not sure why I'm not getting Mario's posts, but if I had to do tango over again: - I would not be so critical of my partner (Sean) because I now know that he learns differently than I do and how difficult it is to learn to lead, - I wouldn't have been so shy about practicing/dancing with other people, - I'd have started a lot sooner on my Alexander Technique lessons, since I didn't realize that having a good sense of my own kinesthetics would have such on impact on my dancing and sensing my partner. And I wouldn't have wasted so much time on what appeared to be conflicting techniques. Trini de Pittsburgh --- Keith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Clever guy.
