    Warning About Tango Teacher "tango Piola"

    An update on the original topic... According to Tango Piola's website, he has suddenly moved his business to Europe. p.s. I don't mean to be cynical, but the gay predator story doesn't ring true to me. For many reasons.

    Warning About Tango Teacher "tango Piola"

    Bajo_Cero, it just occurred to me why we're misunderstanding each other about group classes. If we talk just about group classes in Buenos Aires, from very good teachers, I'm not saying that you pick up bad habits because they teach you something wrong. But when I learned the basics in those...

    Warning About Tango Teacher "tango Piola"

    Well, this quickly degenerated. I don't want to comment on things that no one else will care about and that don't relate to the original post. But Bajo_Cero, just to correct what you think I said or what you are assuming about me: -- I'm not a teacher and I don't have a partner who is a...

    Warning About Tango Teacher "tango Piola"

    p.s. I don't want to sound like I'm against group technique classes. They are great. But you have to be advanced before you are ready for them. Otherwise, women focus on looking beautiful. They just copy the "look" and don't understand how to keep the connection with their partner.

    Warning About Tango Teacher "tango Piola"

    I'm not interested in debating you about being a follower. Are you a follower? I completely disagree about privates being wasted on a beginner. Most people (myself included) start with group classes, pick up a bunch of bad habits, and then reinforce those habits through repetition at milongas...

    Warning About Tango Teacher "tango Piola"

    I live here and have been studying and dancing tango for 10 years. First, US$13 is incredibly cheap. And second, all of my male teachers have taught men themselves, without using a female surrogate. That is a pretty old-school way of thinking, and applies more to male teachers who can't follow...

    Correo Argentino Or Oca?

    Can someone advise me which is better for sending a package to Europe? I don't want to spend a fortune on DHL or Fedex, so I'm only interested in these two (unless there's a cheap option through DHL). Many thanks!

    Interior Designer

    I didn't mean to make you feel stupid! It is a very common confusion… most people don't know the distinction between designers and decorators. Anyway, perhaps there are some decorators who do charge a fixed rate. I'm sure they will correct me. : )

    Interior Designer

    Nativexpat, you are confusing two things. Interior designers are focused on space planning. We essentially are interior architects, making a space more functional. We either charge a set fee for a project or charge by the hour. Although we might also choose the furniture, paint colors, etc., I...

    Moving Furniture, Electronics From The Us. Afip Etc..ugh!

    When I moved here in 2009 I had 6 months to bring in my things tax-free. That meant 6 months from the time I arrived with a work visa for one year. One crucial part was that I had to have a customs official at EZE write in my passport: "Espera equipaje no acompañado." If I hadn't gotten that on...

    Cat Vet Recommendation-Naturalpath Or Homeopath?

    My cat likes fresh, streaming water. I find that these fountains really help. They're expensive, but worth it. http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-489111392-fuente-de-agua-cat-it-p-gato-o-perro-chico3-repuestos-_JM
