This might have been due to the milongas he attended. I don't know about
anybody else, but I still remember my first time in BsAs.... I was
completely blown away by the dancing at the milongas. Back then I had only
been taught the basic steps of tango and while I could dance a salida, lead
ochos and even do an occasional back sacada (Nora Dinzelbacker managed to
teach me a back sacada when I first began to dance, thank you Nora!), I was
in no way prepared to dance at a milonga in BsAs. I had to return and really
apply myself to learn how to really dance tango and navigate the floor.
Surely, unless things have gone badly awry in the last 7 or 8 years, the
dancing at the milogas in Bs As is at least as good as anywhere else in the
world and definitely superior to what I've seen in my travels.

High level dancing to all,

Manuel
