Comment on The Do’s and Don’ts of Inviting and Accepting by Jessie

I started dancing when I was four (mostly ballet), but have only danced the tango for a few months. Because I have so many years of dance training, I can often follow a good lead through quite a lot of steps/combinations that I’ve never actually learnt and don’t really know. Unfortunately, not every good dancer is a good lead, and things can go seriously awry when a lead expects that I can do something with him that I’ve done with someone else. He’s not being unreasonable; clearly I can do it, whatever it is, but I don’t know it so I can’t necessarily do it with him. This sometimes leads to a tetchy lead and a not very pleasant dance. When I’m asked to dance, especially when I’m asked to dance by the more advanced leads, do I tell them that I’m a beginner for all practical purposes, and if so, how can I convince them that I’m not being modest or disingenuous?

This is such a nice tribute to a wonderful dancer and teacher. I cannot stop thinking about what a special man he was. He was a beautiful dancer and a wonderful teacher. My heart goes out to his lovely family.

Pablo was my tango instructor for 3 years. During this period I observed how Pablo taught each one of his students that we live in a room of our own making with many windows. It is important to open the windows gracefully to allow the joy and gladness of the outside world to enter your room through faith and trust in others around you. Pablo was an accomplished tango dancer and a highly skilled instructor, but most important, a sincere friend to his students. His kindness and humble personality certainly spoke to me. It was a privilege to have known him.

Sometimes there can be no reason or understanding why such a young, talented and beloved person is taken from us. For those of us who had the profound opportunity to know him and to have been taught by him this is a loss that is immeasurable. Pablo loved to dance and to teach his immense knowledge of the dance to others. For us, his students, “single lead—single follow” was his mantra. The shock of losing Pablo cannot be reconciled. What we can do is be thankful for the time we had to love him, know him and be given his great gift of teaching tango. R.I,P.
