Hi there, I know, this might sund funny, coming from a teacher, but I just have to comment on this sentence in the mail of [email protected] (Who's behind this Alias anyway?): "... I do know that it (bad teachers) produces bad dancers that disrupt the floor for the rest of us...."
Actually I am not so sure about this. I've seen a lot of good dancers, who only took classes with the worst teachers and quite some awful dancers, who had access to great instruction. To me, the statistical relation between good instruction and becoming a good dancer does not seem to be very significant. Unfortunately. I don't say, that is hurts, to take classes with good teachers, 'cause they can give you great ideas and infos, but you won't become a good dancer just by this. You have to take into consideration talent, (good) taste, (common) sense, sensibility, experience (with other dances or sports), age, pysical fitness, (good) dance partners, (good) perception, (high) level of Tango-community, reason and of course (the right) practice. ... So please, don't blame it all on the teachers! If you are intelligent enough and think about what you're doing, you might even learn from real bad teachers. I did! ;-) Happy New Year, Melina MELINA SEDO & DETLEF ENGEL www.tangodesalon.de www.youtube.com/tangodesalon www.facebook.com/tangodesalon [email protected] _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
