How much should I train for tango?
Nobody knows. This is personal. How much should one eat? How much should a person work out? Tango isn’t a pre-determined social routine like showering everyday. You can do as much or as little of it at your own pace. Nobody cares but you. Ok fine, there are other people who care. Such as your partner, your teacher, your community, and such.
- If you’re only doing it for fun – as much as you enjoy it.
- If you want to be good – as much as you can.
- If you just want a number – how about 10 hours a week?
- If you want the typical teacher’s answer – 1 or 2 hours every day is great.
- If you want YOUR teacher’s answer – until you stop making basic mistakes.
- If you want other dancers’ answer – until you’re fun to dance with.
- If you want a competitors answer – until you win.
