DNI: This is what I came for

My first day at DNI tango school was everything I had hoped it would be and more. It has completely soothed away the sting of the milonga at El Beso. In fact, quite a few of the dancers from El Beso were in the classes (I did three, today, but no milonga) and I danced with everyone. The teachers were god-like in form and movement. Also, extremely nurturing. Sometimes, they even kiss you when you get it right. Yes, they do. The standard of dancing and teaching is, over all, much higher here than in London and I experienced none of the snobbery I have experienced in classes in London. Thanks to Danny Israel, whose book about tango is soon to come out, as well as my friend Flor, for telling me about this incredible place.
