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, María Olivera www.tangosalon.com.ar
[EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: 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. http://tangocherie.blogspot.com/ ************************************** Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
