This would all be very well if this is how tango selling worked. But the
reality is that a teacher in a studio will tell all his students, most of

One of the difficulties in coming to a judgment about whether pauses
are used or are normal in tango is that the 'pause' is not clearly
defined in terms of its duration.
At one level, one can say that one is ALWAYS pausing in tango (milonga
and vals). A ma

Janis' point was not about superlatives alone: it was also about lies
and deliberately misleading statements. Do you also accept those as a

Interesting thoughts on pausing, Ron and others.
Are we using "pause" to refer to those times when each partner stays
on one leg rather than changing weight with the music?

I got this commentary in a weekly newsletter from our local Tango
School here in San Diego (the one that has a teachers training
program.) I found it somewhat amusing, so I thought I'd share it with
the list, especially those who object to followers being compared to
non-human things.
And I'd like
Oh, you're right. That goes by too fast for me to read it. I'm busy
