Because if you agree about this phrase above you are finally a
"contradicting thinking man". Or just forgetting to explain how you can be
at the same time : a pro-learning-fixed
rules -under-video-or-book-tango-teacher/promoter/judge  and an open minded
teacher who respects, all styles all ways to comunicate tango ?

Hector, thanks again for your post. You probably would like to get this
great cd-room created by a worldwide known choreographer William Forsythe in
wich he analises the dance with geometrical visual tools in 3 dimensions.
I've found it very interesting and helpful. Te mando un abrazo.

Cheers!
