SLO Tango -- Change

[Tom Harrington]

Great discussion.  It would appear that we all value the precious  
Tango community we have.  Awareness and conscious sensitivity to  
everyone's feelings and desires can only enhance our community.  How  
shall anyone decide the level necessary to enter a certain class?   
Sometimes I have taken more advanced classes and done fine, other  
times I've been a drag.  Occasionally, I've sat on the sidelines  
knowing I could have done advanced classes.  I've not had the  
experience of sitting out and not learning.  For me some of the best  
learning is watching others.

This Saturday morning as I dance with my most frequent partner, Miss  
Mop, I can't seem to get an answer from her about how I'm doing.  My  
desire is to enhance my interconnection with everyone, in this  
instance via a dance form.   The intermixing of opportunities to  
dance with folks at all levels provided thus far has been excellent.   
For me the experience is more personal than academic.

It seems good to have everything out on the table.  I value  
everyone's commitment.  Continued humble mentoring will add to our  
group. I will be living in Buenos Aires for a time and look forward  
to meeting many people at all levels of dance.  Tango at its heart is  
a folk dance for social interaction on varied levels of flirtatious  
intimacy.

Now it's time for me and Miss Mop to get down.
