Igor:
Brainstorming applies to a group working on a common goal, such as an 
assignment at the office. It doesn't apply to Tango L. For some, it's to 
impress; for others, to share information.

Those looking for answers to all their tango questions should stop because they 
won't find them here. This is a bulletin board to share information. Even if 
the answers were posted, it doesn't mean they would be understood.

I learned the hard way that understanding and dancing tango well requires 
maturity and patience. I had NEITHER when I started. My teacher, Joe, would 
tell me about the wonders of close embrace and I'd say "HUH????" I remember one 
lesson he said "I can go the whole night without a gancho." That amazed me. (As 
a sidebar, ganchos seem to have fallen out of favor because I don't see many 
anymore.) I lament I didn't start tango earlier, but then, I wasn't ready for 
tango. I had to wait for the right moment to start.

I remember the old TV program Kung Fu that starred David Carradine. He was a 
Shaolin priest, taught philosophy and the martial arts. He asked too many 
questions and his master would say something like "Ah, Grasshopper. Everything 
will be revealed to you in time."

Many times, I had to take Joe's advice on faith until I could understand the 
deeper meaning of his explanations. I suggest you take on faith what people 
tell you. If women don't want to be compared to an object, DON'T do it. Take it 
on faith unless you want to go through life banging your head against the wall.

There is a method of collective thinking called Brainstorming.
It is when ideas are spontaneously generated and thought about.

For especially angry ladies I can offer another one: 
"A singer and his voice".
