Leaning how to learn
Sometimes the most difficult part of learning tango is learning HOW to learn tango.
How many of us know how to learn something new in our bodies? It's hard. Infants do it constantly. The effort is enormous. We don't put in that kind of effort. We have habit. We think learning should be adding some information to the schema we already know.
