Re: [TANGO-L] Why students stop dancing.

[skoc <skoc @NOOS.FR>]

Tango is not an easy dance and it is quite normal that everyone can't handle
the crossing of the desert.

Usually in beginner classes, you have an even number of men and women, very
often, there are more men. Usually, none of the participants have the
slightest idea of what they have come into.

Add to this, the fact that the most usually ungifted part for dancing is
also in charge of the hardest task (men) :-D

You get the picture...

Here's another hypothesis: women stop because they don't get to dance
enough with good leaders, and men (at least those who realize how they
dance and have respect for their partners) stop because they don't learn
enough to dance with good followers. Since, as Russell points out, good
leaders can and do dance with beginning followers, the solution is to focus
on creating good leaders.
