Re: Developing Effortless Mastery in Tango

["Frank G. Williams" <frankw @mail.ahc.umn.edu>]

Great post, Steve!

It's SO common for an intermediate's appreciation to develop
much faster than their ability, isn't it?  It's a crucial
point at which the need for practice becomes paramount, and
spirits tend to fall.

Teachers should prepare intermediates to understand that shift in
the formula to progress.  ...somewhat away from focusing on concept
and towards refining skill in execution (and always more patience!).

Best wishes,

Frank - Mpls.
