    Why learning only steps and patterns fail in dancing Argentine Tango

    The reasons you’re not getting the results you want in classes is because you’re focusing on just steps and patterns.

    The steps and patterns fail you because you’re neglecting to consider your partnered communication and conne…Read More

    • I think this is great, Can you write it how you would post it? I feel like you are still sharing a draft/notes here.

    • This can flow better:
      The steps and patterns fail you because you’re neglecting to consider your partnered communication and connection.

      This is keeping you stuck and from progressing to dancing with better dancers.

      Steps and patterns are failing preventing you from dancing with better dancers because you’re neglecting to consider your p…Read More

      • I would consider reversing “The steps and patterns fail you because you’re neglecting to consider your partnered communication and connection.” to “you’re neglecting to consider your partnered communication and connection, your steps and patterns can fail.”

  • Sales Qualifier Questions:

    1. Do you have the desire to learn a musical skill (instrument, voice, note reading, songwriting, etc.)?

    2. Do you have the time to travel to and take a music lesson, plus time to practice during the week (approximately daily in one or more sessions for at least the length of the lesson)? If the student is under 10…Read More

    • My sales calls have an extremely high conversion rate–near 100%. Maybe these questions would be better as reinforcing questions for the sales call? We have some of them on our interest form (pre-call), some of them on the call, and others in an onboarding form. We seem to have patched the leak from the interest form to booking a call, so that’s…Read More

    • I like your questions Ruth (and the high converting rates !!). But I was wondering if you have students who want to take lessons but cannot/ will not make the time to practice daily, but may do it like twice a week. Knowing they ll make less progress obviously, but happy to go at their own pace – I am thinking people like me, in their 40s or 50s,…Read More

      • Yes of course! These questions are a starting place and not exactly screening questions, which is why I am a little shy about using them before the call. However, it is still true that many of my students who only practice 0 – 2 times a week do not progress at all and only build bad habits. It’s actually more joyful to do 5 minutes a day than one…Read More

        • Ruth, use that in the question and I think the practice question can be a stand alone. Do you have time to practice daily? We believe it’s more joyful to do 5 minutes a day than one hour once a week and students who have a daily practice habit tend to progress quicker.

    • It seems like you’re asking people to commit to a lifestyle in order to be successful. I’m curious about things like, what’s going to get in the way of you putting in the necessary practice time? I’m also curious about their vision of success for 3 months, for 6 months, for a year. And I’m also curious about their story – why do they want to learn…Read More

      • Yes, thank you Dan, these are all questions we already use on the sales call and intake sheet. At this stage I wouldn’t want to use them (particularly “what will get in the way?”) as qualifier questions for fear they would scare folks away.
