My good friend and fellow tango teacher Mitra Martin asked me to define what excellence in tango means to me.
Here was my reply:
Mitra,
...Excellence in tango to me means the evolutionary (changing over time) pursuit of the mastery and balance of the 4 levels of awareness: Self, Partner, Music, and Surroundings.
Also, I feel that there is no ultimate goal but only the process of deeper understanding and knowledge through steadily acquired experience.
Hugs,
Homer ;)
