That's too bad. I know a couple of guys who had a falling out with their organizer and later worked for someone else. One was the late Michel Auzat. The other was Guy the Irishman. The organizer was Santiago. If DJ-ing is something that brings you joy, maybe you could try looking for a...

I encourage you to do this. Especially if you can point out how your offering is different from the other guy's (ex: price, music). If the people from your old practica are still dancing, maybe they can form the core of your new practica.

You don't dance to the last song of the night?

Just where, when, and whom are you talking about? This definitely was not the case in the mid-'90s in Montreal.

Go to a practica. Find a leader who leads with his arms. Get him to hold his hands behind his back. Start him with leading forward ochos. Tell me if he doesn't look better.

You should teach a course on "How to win the invitation game."

That happens in Montreal also. Women should arrive earlier.

Does the school have a milonga (tango dance party)? If so, can you attend one and watch? I assume most of the dancers are his students. Does the teacher dance in the milonga? Are the couples stepping to the beat of the music? Do the couples collide? Do the dancers swing their feet around...
