For once, I completely disagree with Charles. My teacher likes to tell beginners that an 8-week beginner course is ALL about developing a connection with your partner. Until you do that, you're dancing alone and that just isn't Tango at all.
Any good teacher should be able to connect with a female student quite quickly and she'll then know what a good connection is and she'll be able to dance Tango with any good leader. For the men, I agree that it's a lot more difficult but it's still what he should be aiming for from the very first set of lessons. What's the alternative - just learn some steps? Tango without a connection is nothing. Jack > From: "[email protected]" [email protected] > >Tango is difficult and > takes time and practice to just get a good foundation.
