Where am I?
Whenever we undertake to learn a new subject, sooner or later, for all the efforts we put in (or not, as the case may be), inevitably each and every one of us is interested to know: how do we stack up? I mean, do we have far to go before we achieve some form of mastery??
Well, it seems that such a check-list may exist for Argentine Tango!? Perhaps we can all tick ourselves off against the criteria listed in these rather humorous definitions of different levels of Tango?
Incidentally, I read about this from My life as a Tango beginner, which has a warped sense of humour but good writing. The writer, who calls himself Pablo, painstakingly chronicles his on-going trials and tribulations in attaining the elusive Tango Nirvana. In fact, I was so mesmerised that I read everything in one sitting!

Well, you don’t say where you are yourself on this level ladder…
Hi, nice to hear from the famous “Tango beginner”! Having picked up Tango close to 4 years ago, I guess I am probably an “intermediate” intermediate leader!?
Seriously though, the Tango scene in Singapore is relatively small and so most leaders aren’t seriously tested unless they also do a bit of travelling.
