Seattle is blessed with a wealth of local and visiting instructors and maestros, each of whom brings a distinctive perspective and personality to Argentine Tango. Who is the best teacher? Well, actually, it is… you, the student. When it comes right down to it, only you can really teach yourself anything. The key to learning is to find instructors who come closest to explaining and demonstrating things in ways that might make sense to you, and can teach you the flavor of tango you are looking for. The key is also to find the instructors who challenge you to think, and rethink what you already know, to help you understand, illuminate, and clarify what your tango means to you. The best way to evaluate a teacher’s effectiveness is to actually take a class or two, and take private lessons for personalized feedback. Try doing the steps and figures their way, even if it may seem counter-intuitive to you.
See you on the dance floor!
