Despite the fact that many people are happy to start learning Argentine tango, not everyone decides to go to lessons again and again. The reason most often lies in disappointment, in the fact that the person did not receive what was expected in the shortest possible time. That is why, in order not to be disappointed in this art, it is better to get rid of some stereotypes even before the start of training.
The first thing to understand is that effective teaching requires a good Argentine tango teacher. At the same time, it is important to sign up specifically for lessons for beginners, and not for trainings for experienced, advanced dancers. Often, beginners believe that if they choose more complex trainings, they can quickly and easily learn to dance at the level of masters. In fact, this is the same as moving on to higher mathematics without even having received basic arithmetic knowledge. Not only will you not start dancing well, but you will not be able to do many of the movements because you don't know the basics.
Beginners often want to learn everything at once. They get very upset when things don't work out. You shouldn't come to class with this attitude. Of course, you need to count on the best, but you should still understand that very rarely such a complex dance as Argentine tango is easy for a person, and all movements are remembered and obtained correctly the first time. But there is good news for those who intend to learn this art. Be sure that with the right approach, Argentine tango will give you many pleasant minutes, even when you will only learn it, and not dance in milongas.
It is important to consider one more point: first you will need to learn how to walk correctly. This causes confusion or even dissatisfaction among many newbies. However, in reality, performing steps in Argentine tango is not at all as easy as it might seem at first glance. You need to learn how to properly hold your back and chin, perform movements clearly and confidently, without thinking about what the next step should be. This will help create a foundation, a solid foundation that will help you dance more confidently and perform even complex movements later on.
Finally, remember that as you learn Argentine tango, you must be ready to change your life for the better. This dance will "tell" you about your problems. It can be self-doubt, inability to listen to other people, unwillingness to lead for men or follow for women. If you can understand these signals (of course, with the help of a teacher), and then solve the problems that have arisen, then you will certainly notice that your daily life has changed for the better.
