Yes, I was booked for three workshops with that couple, but only went to two in the end. I really didn't need the mental aggravation another hour and a half of their posturing and failure to actually teach would have left me with. > I guess this was reflected in the comment in the latest Canberra > tango newsletter? Seems you got a gem with Joaquin. Yes. "Mixed responses" would be a diplomatic way of putting it. I certainly fall in the category of "outraged that I contributed to paying for their airfare." I did manage to learn a couple of things from their workshops, but it was in spite of their "teaching", not because of it. Just goes to prove that winning championships doesn't mean you can teach. I won't make a comment about their performances, because performances don't really interest me. I much prefer dancing to watching someone else doing a partially or fully rehearsed dance sequence. I didn't even bother watching the performances on Friday night. Just got out my phone and read for a bit.
