I read you post to the end, just to be sure you don't accuse me of
cutting you off, but
in an effort to build our tango community, we did a small, informal, and
unscientific marketing survey. the sample consisted of young (plus or minus a
bit 17-21), likely dancers (already dancing something for the most part), male

further illuminates the inabilties of some male posters to take women's
answers, suggestions and comments about tango and the list seriously.
I found dancers in BsAs using two different Spanish words to signify
what we would call lead in English: marcar llevar.
I even had one lesson where the teacher went to great lengths to

I personally think Sherrie has a legitimate complaint and I am a male. I am
always admonishing my male students about teaching. They start doing that from

Dear Tangonista:
This is useful information. I remember seeing tango rules posted at a

Hi,
Let us start a new thread.
What constitutes elitism? It is the notion of deciding on the proper
way of dancing tango, or else?
Does it relate to policing the Milongas? Does it relate to playing only
one kind of music?
Or is it a I am a better dancer because I put lots of work into my
