		<description><![CDATA[In classes, you\&#8217;ll often hear me remind people that there are \&#8221;no wrong steps.\&#8221;  I also believe that the improvisational and exploratory possibilities make Argentine Tango the jazz of social dance.   The following quote from Thelonius Monk brings those two ideas together nicely.  

There are no wrong notes;  some are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my tango foundations classes, I\&#8217;ve often addressed the tendency of a nervous follower to second-guess her choice (or the leader\&#8217;s lead, or the lack thereof) and take double or triple steps when one or zero would be best.  The tendency sometimes arises because of a mistaken belief that it is the follower\&#8217;s job [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reusable code is another great property of good programming languages and Argentine Tango.  Once you find your favorite pieces of code (say a really efficient parser, or a great boleo combination), you can choose when and where to insert it.  You know exactly what it does, how it works, and how best to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is going to be a lot more meaningful to you if you\&#8217;ve got some kind of experience with programming.  For the technically minded, one of the convenient things about tango is that you can debug iteratively.  Your ability to take advantage of this depends a lot on how you choose to think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Learning to dance the tango is like learning another language.  
Lots of resources are available to teach you the \&#8221;phrasebook for beginners\&#8221; with lots of helpful ready-made phrases like \&#8221;good morning\&#8221;, \&#8221;how are you?\&#8221;, \&#8221;one more beer, please\&#8221;, and \&#8221;where is the bathroom?\&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[A good follower exemplifies the qualities of being a good listener: someone who listens and responds to the speaker with full attention rather than simply waiting for his or her turn to speak.  

A good listener is comfortable saying \&#8221;I didn\&#8217;t understand,\&#8221; instead of responding to a half-heard statement.  
A good listener waits [...]]]></description>
