Re: [Tango-L] Buenos Aires Mystery

[Maria de los Angeles Olivera]

I agree with this explanation. Probably you were invited by men that won't ever 
be accepted by the "Milongueras" of the place.
   
  Other possibility, if this happened to you around midnight is that those men 
were students coming from the previous class, which ends up about 11pm, if they 
are new in Tango world, probably they won't know the "Códigos", (rules of 
behavior at milongas).
   
  You were right by saying "no thanks", but you could have also suggested them 
to invite you by the "cabeceo" from a relative distance, this, just in case 
you'd like to dance with them.
   
  Never mindn Holly, it usually happens at several milongas, and in Buenos 
Aires not every one is as good as foreing people think.
   
  Warmest regards,

  Hi Holly,

What you experienced is very common: local men think that foreign women don't 
know the codigos (and many don't), and so approach their tables to ask them 
to dance. Often these men can't get local women to dance with them. Or they 
just hope to profit from a newby's first time at a Buenos Aires milonga.

The proper response is, "no, gracias."
Punto final.

Please don't worry about it. You were absolutely correct by declining. No 
explanation necessary.

[Tango-L] taxi dancers

[Maria de los Angeles Olivera]

Hi everybody,
   
  What happens in Buenos Aires is that no good dancer (either man or woman) 
will dance with somebody that she/he haven't seen dancing before. That means 
that if you want to be invited to dance at a milonga without renting a Taxi 
dancer, you should go to a class first (many milongas have classes before the 
ball) so as to meet some people who is going to stay afterwards. This is a good 
way to be sure that somebody will ask you to dance/ accept your invitation.
   
  Best,
   
  María

  My apologies, 

I just noticed that part of the quoted phrase was deleted from my posting. 
The phrase was "... it its really difficult to get dances initially in 
BsAs...typically if you are not well known by the local dancers."
