I agree with tangopeer below. 'Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'. The video is not beautiful but certainly educational. Abusive?? I really don't see it. Metin has an aggressive personality and it pervades his teaching style. If you want a soft fuzzy type of teacher, don't attend his workshops. It would be great to ask the opinion of the woman in the video. I'm sure somebody recognizes her or actually attended the workshop. The demonstration on the video in a workshop environment is appropriate; in a milonga ridiculous. I would describe what I saw on the video as 'aggressively playful.' To those folks who deplore the word aggression I understand all the negative commentaries. I hope you will not respond with an 'aggressive attack' on my opinion! I have feelings as well and even Metin possesses the same! Smile and Relaxxxxxxxxx. It's not all that serious! Si o No? Dan

Good or or not so good? That's subjective. But, I see contribution. Look for the positive and you will learn to see the contribution. Many of us, out here, learn from watching new dancers, bad dancers and dancers that don't dance like us. I see contribution. I see no abuse.
