So I hope you slowly become part of the solution.<br /><br />I know the tango communities in several places on the globe. I started in El Paso, which is bitterly divided. Kaiserslautern, Germany had a wonderful community at one time, but now a very critical teacher has all the tangueras focused on the wrong things and very critical of the men. The size of the community has dwindled. San Antonio is full of great dancers, but also is divided. In all cases that I know, the teachers could find solutions but do not. It's a type of dance/movement fundamentalism.Tango Therapisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548118004604256736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286007268065402678.post-39380156098582522132010-05-13T18:17:01.706-04:002010-05-13T18:17:01.706-04:00I tried your so solution No.6 long time ago.

The dancers/groups judge the others based on age and which school you are from. If you are not one of them or have no potential to join the "gang", you are totally ignored. My tango community here is not large. There are more than a handful teachers. Almost every teacher has his/her own group. Some teachers recruit "frieds" by age. In my opionion, this is the pettiest crowd in the tango world. Maybe I should move to your town one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
