Anton, you do raise an interesting question. Years of learning salon tango, balance, control, axis, posture, embrace and a hundred other little nuances will make a person look at other dancers with a more critical eye than a person who has had six months of group classes or even six years of group classes. There is no regulation and I’m not suggesting there should be, but it’s unfortunate for those that spend hard earned money on lessons from those who in my eyes aren’t qualified, but of course to others they are perfectly happy. I don’t think there can ever be a solution to this problem but it is fun to vent on a forum with others even if we have different opinions.

Why do they "Think" they are automatically qualified to "Teach Tango" when they really aren't qualified?" For me this raises an interesting question. For a genre where it's participants vehemently resist the concept of regulation, how does one determine the "really aren't qualified" from those by interpolation, who are qualified? To me, it seems a conundrum which often appears on this list.
