Something I&#x27;ve taken from my Argentine Tango journey is the importance of focusing on fundamentals.  Figuring out what those fundamentals were took some time. Some skills definitely do have a slow ramp up period in the beginning.<p>Great job getting through that initial phase! The first year can be trying particularly for leads.<p>I did something similar.  People started saying I was a natural at tango.  No.  I put in the time.  Lots of it. Every day. Obsessed, constantly aware of the fundamentals on or off the dance floor. Having some basic talent only gets you so far.<p>Back to the thread.<p>I have a theory achieving mastery in any area can potentially accelerate mastery in another area.  Related or not. The mastering of mastery I guess. Maybe our brains are able to learn more as we learn more.  Accelerating the learning process?
