Hi Jake,
I agree that teaching stuff that later has to be "unlearned" is not the best
way to go. However, it's very difficult at times to get a certain idea or
movement across without teaching something that later is proven wrong by an
exception..... At any rate, I respectfully disagree with you on this. I don't
think it will ever be necessary for a tango dancer to unlearn the code.... The
sequence of steps in the giro is pretty much cast in stone.
Manuel
