Patricia, I completely agree with you. But the point I'm trying to make is that the problem is not the 8CB, the problem is way bad teachers use it and teach it. All Argentines learn the 8CB, I see them all the time at beginner classes as I wait for the next intermediate class. But they don't get stuck on it and it never becomes a problem. They just move on and progress. Why do Americans have this big problem with the 8CB? Could it be because of the way Americans learn Tango?

It's boring when leaders use this after every few walking steps. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
