Re: [Tango-L] First trip to Bs. As.
Well put, Charles. It's also good to choose milongas where people are more or less your same age, especially if you are over 35. Of course, a young beautiful girl who dances well, or even not that well, will dance anyplace she wants to!

Re: [Tango-L] First trip to Bs. As.
re Michael's experience in Buenos Aires, a couple of observations, and a reality check. Over the years I have heard horror stories from people, both men and women, that went down and didn't dance even one dance with the locals, and sometimes none at all (!) for two weeks. Although the men there will make exceptions for attractive women, of course, generally if the men don't know how to dance well (or are beginners) women won't respond to their cabeceo, even if they are wearing a suit. Many people from the U.S. go down thinking they are good dancers only to have a rude reality check. Also remember that if they don't know you, they may wait to see if you know how to dance well. I sat for two hours dressed up in Lo de Celia a few years back trying to get a dance when I finally realized that women weren't responding because no one knew me and had no idea whether I could dance or not. Finally I asked someone sitting at the next table to dance, who didn't know how to dance very well it turned out, but it worked. After that I got responses from my cabeceos. Also keep in mind that nowadays there are different styles of milongas so first make sure you are going to one that fits your style of dancing, and possibly dress. Dancing open-embrace, nuevo-style tango, (and wearing baggy cargo pants with T-shirts hanging out) won't get you many dances at Sunderland, but on the other hand, it will at other venues.

Re: [Tango-L] first trip to Bs As
Manuela, My wife, Lisa, really liked the 'technique for women' classes run by Aurora Lubiz out of the Escuela above Galeria Pacifico. She also really liked Maxi and Milva at Maipu 444 and Maria Plazaola and many of the teachers at La Academia run out of El Beso, including the ones who work there that aren't necessarily 'names'. You will probably get different things from teachers who are famous dancers to the ones who are not yet in that category so it is good to do classes with both varieties. Depending on your level of dance you may also find you get as much out of the social dancing as out of the lessons, at least that was what my wife found.
