Hello List: I only post when something has really stirred me up. This is one of those moments. I dont know how people behave in other parts of the world, but to survive the tango scene here, you have to be on your toes. No one is slandering Argentines in general. But in all the years I have been dancing I have either personally been involved in, had friends involved in or otherwise know reputable people victimized in a multitude of real horror stories concerning tango teachers from Argentina. Do I think all Argentines are bad? No, of course not. But you would have to be a blind deaf mute living in a cave your entire life not to know that some of these visiting teachers/dancers/guest artists can be bad news. Luckily the good people balance out the equation, thus we continue dancing. This is not a warm fuzzy dream world where everyone plays nice. Some of the players have no interest in that. So as I said before, we have to look out for each other. Sarah La RoccaNYC
