Tango Lesson with Robert Duvall

I was Googling something entirely different when I came across the chance to bid on a Tango Lesson with Robert Duvall at his Virginia farmhouse he donated for a charity fundraiser. I wonder what kind of teacher would he be? Would Robert be encouraging and patient or get exasperated with you easily? I would like to think he would promote the idea of connecting with your partner rather than simply teaching steps.

I actually danced with Robert Duvall at his farmhouse when I was still living in D.C. This must've been about around 1995. He'd have open dance parties and invite a bunch of people, and of course, their people invited other people (me!). Awesome farmhouse. He danced OK, not very good rhythm, and had just a touch of BO (DC gets hot and sticky in the summer), but who knows? Now that he's married to an Argentine, he's probably improved!

That´s a cool Tango story! Duvall´s wife is from Salta (there really isn´t Tango there, but lots of caballos and folklore. I read she only took up Tango after meeting Duvall.
