"We just wanted to send our thanks for a wonderful lesson this evening. We talked about it all the way home and made especial note of how much you were able to identify the basic technical things upon which we should work. This is just the sort of instruction we are looking for. The friendly atmosphere of the Practica and the welcome we felt from the other participants just topped it off for us. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts and can't wait for the next session that we will be able to share with you." S&D
"The biggest problem with tango industry is that dancing is being taught as performing art or competing sport. The reality is that 99% of dancers are non-professionals and most of them just want to hug and be hugged – to feel that magical state of flow on the dance floor.
The result of that way of teaching is an army of frustrated dancers who spend years of practicing and tons of money on workshops. Than they go to milonga and when it doesn’t work they think that they have no talent. They believe that the secret of good dancing is available to just chosen few.
There’s a better way!
The biggest breakthrough in my dancing happened when I stopped aspiring to dance with fancy steps and flawless technique, and focused on the connection and musicality.
I use the same approach as a teacher as well. You have to learn just the basic social dancing skills, so you can dance without effort.
Social tango musicality is much easier to learn than performing or competing style. Learn just the easiest and most effective steps. That’s more than enough to interpret even the most complex tango music."
