You Can't Learn Tango Like This

Almost every milonga in London has a class before it.


  • Every week there's some special guest teacher.
  • Every week you are shown some "move" or sequence.
  • You've not spent much time with the teachers. 
  • They've certainly not spend much time with you. If any. They don't know your weaknesses, or strengths.
  • You never spend more than minutes on themes or technique that need weeks and years.
  • They don't spent time on boring but necessary training exercises.
  • You don't get any continuity in exposure to a particular style or approach.
What can I say - you can't learn tango like this.
