Dearest Maestro,

We did not have a chance to keep talking after class yesterday, but I wanted to let you know that I believe we had a very good discussion and you touched upon the key issue we are facing at this point of our tango education. I was going to bring it up myself but you anticipated me and I am happy to see that we share the same vision.


I think education is a big part of why we do what we do and how we feel about it and how we experience it and how we share it with others, and you proved once more to be a great educator.
 

There are good professionals and then there are talented people, and I know you don't want to fabricate good professionals but you want to bring out the talent from individuals dedicated to this art.
I think many of us need to learn how to express and share the impact of tango by being more sensual, which means sharing with all our senses (you can call it energy if you prefer), through listening to the music, moving through the music, feeling each other's presence and experiencing those sublime moments with another human being. There cannot be the right intention behind our moves unless we fully integrate that humanity (or that god, like you say) into our tango
I think there may still be some misunderstandings, and we will need to keep bringing this up in class for us to really embrace this philosophy and way of life
up to the extent that each of us is willing to take it. which means becoming the best you can be. Being truthful is a difficult choice and one without compromises, and in order to get there you need to have a deep understanding of what humanity is about and fully know and embrace who you are.
It is a far goal but it is also something worth our while more than most other things we can dedicate our time to...and it takes a lot of dedication!

I'll be happy to keep sharing our path for as far as it will go, and I'll be looking forward to our next steps along this journey.

As Salvador Dali once you told me used to say to his wife "get sublime ! ... and she would know what to do...". I think it summarizes in a way what we need to do in tango. I am glad I am part of this.
all my best,
Mariano

Hello Jorge,

My wife and I are moving to northern California, so we will no longer be able to attend any classes. But you should know that we took your class when we first started dating and now we are married. The class served as an integral part of our bonding. We thank you for that.

All the best,

We enjoyed dancing with you at the Sunday Practica, and we loved the music that you chose. We also found your demonstration very beautiful.

Thanks again,

We won't always know whose lives we touched and made better for our having cared, because actions can sometimes have unforeseen ramifications. Thank you for caring enough and doing what you do. You and the TAOP have enriched our lives immensely. Best wishes to you for 2011, THE BEST IS YET TO COME
