Hi Keith, It's always a pleasure to hear how much you appreciate Americans and our tango. I for one, am always looking for ways to raise up my dancing from it's current level of mediocrity (and it's probably quite low, since I'm no where near as good as either Robin Thomas or Tomas Howlin (the two leaders that I've seen dance before)). Anyways, I have a possible solution to my (and possibly many American's) dilemma.
I was hoping that sometime soon, you would bless us by posting some videos of yourself dancing (of course with a high level of excellence and difficulty). In addition, (and I realize it's a lot to ask), would you also consider gracing us with a tour of the USA, so that some of us could one day be inspired to rise above our high level of mediocrity? I can't be the only one salivating over the prospect of learning from someone as well respected as you are. What do you think? Will you help us out? : ) David -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From: Keith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [Tango-L] Atlanta Tango Festival Video >To: [email protected] >Thanks for posting the videos Miles. I'll probably get flamed for this, but >IMO the best thing about seeing US instructors dance is that it makes the rest of us feel less inadequate, which is how I often feel after watching Argentines. I don't really understand the purpose of the instructors' demonstrations - other than to send everyone to sleep :-). I'm not saying they should be dancing choreographed show routines but at least they should be of a high level of excellence and difficulty to motivate and inspire their students and others. What these demonstrations say to me is ... "learn from us and achieve a high level of mediocrity". Just my opinion.
