Why Doesn’t Tango Have A School?

Why Doesn’t Tango Have A School?

Everything that is hard to learn, has a school.

Everything that is meaningful, complex, worth learning, rich, intricate, beautiful, that brings value to society...

Music, dance, art, theater, film - all have structured learning environments.

Schools provide structure, ritual, and social support for achieving learning goals.
