Ok... Nina,

You are a living example that Tango transcends the
boundaries of
'Argentiness'. I quick Google search show that you
are a very successful
and talented RUSSIAN tanguera. See
https://tangoledanza.com/aboutus.aspx

Proof that one does not need to be Argentine to be a
master. Hopefully one
day we can tango together ;) If you dance as well as
you flame I am in for
a night of fun !!!

Abrazos,
Amaury

Thanks, Chris.

I think that if you decide to do something, it is worth doing it well.

Agreed! Congrats on a slick web site.

Unfair, Steve. I've never claimed nearly all tango instruction is worthless.

Nor would I. It is worth a great deal to the tango economy hereabouts. For
example the great time I had DJing and dancing at our largest festival
this year was in no small part thanks to the income from the thousands of
workshop places that make the event financially viable.

That's why I do not at all welcome Sean's recommendation that cheated
class students should "walk out and demand your money back". If they all
did that, the entire tango economy would collapse overnight.
