Keith,
Reflecting on things digital, after reading your message I immediately
looked for the 'like' button. Guess that sums it up.

Thanks Cherie, Nancy, Shahrukh, Keith, Nina and others who wrote off list
with comments on this thread.
You've all been around this scene for a long time and have experienced,
more or less what I was getting at.
I want to apologize to anyone for whom my posting seemed like an admonition
to forego
sure it was more full of the promise
of adventure back then.
Oh, I'm just rambling
Interested in what others think

Yes, Huck, I'm sure that's true. It's also true that men need to speak
up when women are being overly agressive. I am pretty sure that the
guy massaging my neck didn't feel like dancing at that moment, but he
didn't have the "cohones" to say so.

I took a chance and danced with a stranger at a milonga on the
outskirts of town yesterday. He gave me no space and was leading by
twitching my back with his arm and hand. Then he started to try to

Look again. He dances heel first when he is going forward with long
steps. When dancing in shorter steps, or backwards, it's toe first.

Notice, as well, that her shoulders are back, allowing her to maintain her
own center without disturbing the embrace. She gives her chest to her

I'm an old tango woman. I made my first trip to Argentina to learn tango in
1994. When I dance socially, I tend toward close embrace, although I studied
with some of the classic salon style dancers in Buenos Aires. What no one
ever comments on is the development of nuevo style out of the classic sa
oduction of
Annie - along with my dog, Rubi in the role of Sandy.

Keith,When I started taking classes here in Buenos Aires, back in 1994, the
teachers taught an entrance to the dance that they counted however they felt
it in the moment. It was always a game to see how many counts each maestro
gave it at any time. Some began it to the side, and others to the back
A word of caution to those who want to be welcomed at milongas in BA: Be
careful what and who you write about. Although there is freedom of speech
here in BA, some milonga organizers will ban you from their milongas if you
write something even mildly unpleasant about their venues. I witnessed this
I like this question.
And like most questions about followers' choice, it depends mostly upon the
music.

Hey Janis,
I think there are a few. But just a few - men under 65 who might actually be
able to carry on the real dance of the milongas. You know who they are.
There the guys who don't dance with every new hot chickie who comes too the
milonga. They're the ones who watch - really watch for the wom

Okay, enough, Keep those boleos on the floor in a social setting unless
you are dancing with someone you completely trust to only lead boleos
when it is safe.
