I am charmed by the language and idiosyncrasies of Murray Pfeffer's Online Tango Course. The fragment sentences, the odd punctuation, and the author's voice actually make the whole thing feel rather unscripted, which is admittedly peculiar for a carefully outlined, written tango instruction.

The course covers close embrace and, from what I can tell, is a little old fashioned in places. There are parts of it that I don't entirely understand, because he uses a vocabulary with which I'm unfamiliar. To me, this all just speaks to my desire to expose myself to more instructors. I want to understand as many teachers as I can, regardless of shared language.
