How to Learn Tango - Thought
What do we want our beloved students to understand about how to learn?
- Think about getting all you can learn from watching how a great dancer moves. Hopefully, your teacher is also a great dancer. If so, study the details he or she may not explain.
- Do not be too complacent about what you already know.
- Do not be too hard on yourself about the things you have to work more to learn.
- Improving is not about you in comparison with someone else. It's about you compared to how you were a month ago, or 6 months ago, or a year ago.
- We want you to want to always improve.
- We want you to experience improvement as a satisfaction and a joy, the way we do our improvement.
- When a teacher comes to correct you, think of this as your wonderful chance to get better.
