How to Choose a Tutor For Your Next Tango Class

How to Choose a Tutor For Your Next Tango ClassA tutor to a tango class, especially one who knows the dance, can make or break your class. With that in mind, here are some tips to help you choose a tutor:- Look for someone who knows the specific kinds of dance you want to learn, and also knows the students that you will be teaching. Look for a person who has studied tango from the ground up, who knows all the details and plays all the parts.- Never choose classes unless you have a full complement of people, even if there are only three or four classes. If you have a class with a large ensemble, but no teacher, the music and dancing will be distracting. So make sure you add at least one member to the class.- Don't assume that everyone you teach knows what it means to party time, or that they've heard of the tango before. If a student is new to the dance, take time to talk to them about what they're doing and why. Once they get the idea, they'll be more comfortable when you ask them to do things you're not used to them doing.- Ask to see a portfolio if the dance teacher asks for it. Even if the teacher is good, it's likely that you'll be interested in knowing what your instructor is like. Ask if you can see some of the work they've done, if you'd like to hear a performance, and how their work differs from what you expect.- If you're not comfortable with a person, and you're not certain that they'll do a good job, don't let them teach. The last thing you want is to have someone who's not showing any respect for you as a dance teacher, and ruining your classes for all the others.That's just a few ways you can make the best of a tango class.
