		<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[Regardless of tradition, stereotypes, and a preponderance of examples of Man-Leader and Woman-Follower relationships, the roles of Leader and Follower are not the same as being a Man or Woman, Male or Female.  Leader and Followers are roles that are adopted during the dance to provide a structure for interaction.  They are not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most important ideas in any discipline are those that are considered \&#8221;beautiful\&#8221;.  In math and science, these are the ideas that demonstrate parsimony, but are also very powerful in that they make it possible to both describe and predict an array of theories and observations.  When you tie these ideas together, you [...]]]></description>

Followers are not empty vessels to be filled up with whatever ideas you think are so important for them to know to be able to follow your leading.  Followers are not tabula rasa.  Followers can instead [...]]]></description>

Quote: \&#8221;Her research has revealed that the blueprint for a perfect feature must have: action 30pc, comedy 17pc, good v evil 13pc, love/sex/romance 12pc, special effects 10pc, plot 10pc [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, a student asked about learning the \&#8221;dramatic stuff\&#8221; in tango.  It\&#8217;s not an unusual idea, since tango is frequently perceived on stage and screen as a drama in itself.  The problem is that in tango, audiences have lost a sense of the difference between \&#8221;drama\&#8221; and \&#8221;action.\&#8221;  The [...]]]></description>
