Actually, Mario, If they were to teach (maybe, they do), they would break down a few 6 or 8 step sequences (patterns) and teach the steps and the feel from those.
Again, across the great USA, the teachers with the most successful classes are going out and finding 6 or 8 step patterns that are tricky or elegant and bringing them back home. Why? Because that is how you keep men in your classes. The men don't, as a norm, see that they are learning finnesse. They see that they are learning a pattern that they can show off. However, if you go to the class looking for the finnesse, the feel, you can get just as much out of the class. *** Welcome back !!! *** --- Mario <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Trini, > The last part of your email/post; > "I know they'll be folks on their no-pattern, > just-dancing > blah blah blah kick, but I just figure their tango > is as > limited as their thought processes.
