I don't know about Zen, but as a long time student and a teacher of Tai
Chi, and a relative newcomer Tango, I'm astonished at how many Tai Chi
principles apply to Tango.

Dear List,
thanks a lot writing about Zen/T'ai Chi Chuan and Tango (the milonguerostyle
for me is the most similar): it makes me feel a little bit less "alone",
"strange"! I am studying T'ai Chi Chuan since 1976 and I am teaching it
since 1988: Tango I found in 1994 and till 1996 I converted totally to the
milonguerostyle: and I can say "it's the same": one you practise alone or in
a group and the other as a couple, but - like Andrew says - they ar e quite
similar (maybe you look at the english-version of www.kidojo.it) !

regards

Dear Andrew and List,
my teacher Yvonne Meissner asked me to send You this e-mail of her. She
is traveling a lot during her tournee and it seems that the sending does not work. patricia muller
