Oh, no doubt. But I don't think that's what was meant. Some students insist on knowing whether workshop A is working on 'variations on the left molinete in Villa Urquiza embrace on d'Arienzo music' or 'adornos on rock steps on di Sarli music'. That's a step too far if you make it mandatory (even though some excellent teachers do give that amount of detail). I expect to work on milonga in a milonga workshop, vals on a vals workshop, and tango on a tango workshop. Apart from that, I either trust or distrust a teacher to pick what's right from his/her reputation and what others have experienced. I must say it also depends on the audience. Some people might have a very good understanding of what they need, but perhaps they're better served by private lessons (and by being open to be told to work on something else even in private lessons). Those are usually people who are advanced dancers, but not just people who think they are advanced dancers: some people *think* they know what to work on but are wrong ;). _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
