[Tango-L] rotation of dance partners
I need some comments, advice, etc, regarding the rotation of class participants in weekly classes and in particular weekend workshops with visiting instructors. Rotation encouraged? required? How is this handled in various locations? or ignored? Thanks, roger miller ___ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
Re: [Tango-L] rotation of dance partners
In Portland, OR, rotation is strongly encouraged, but not required -- except in Adv workshops, where it is weakly encouraged, because so many participants have come with a partner and no intention of rotating. For those who did NOT come with a partner to an Adv workshop, the usual rotation expectation is supported.

Re: [Tango-L] rotation of dance partners
The usual (here in Boston) way is - partners are rotating on teacher's notice; however, there are some couples who want to stick together and that's fine, rotation just happens as if they weren't there. I strongly encourage folks to rotate, also I usually try to pair up more advanced people with beginners, so that at least one partner knows what they are doing.

I'm lost. Why would advanced dancers and beginners be in the SAME workshop?

Re: [Tango-L] rotation of dance partners
Sorry for confusion. I'm talking about beginner classes, where sometimes you have people who took some tango classes before and decided to come back, sometimes you have folks who never done tango but they are proficient in yoga, ballet, salsa, so you don't need to explain balance/frame to them, etc. In a context of beginner class I call them advanced.
