Since the overall attitude seems to be "anti-foreigners" and how they are ruining the dance and milonga's, I think ALL foreigners should stop going to BsAs and that would solve the problem. I mean, they obviously don't enjoy us coming there and spending money, so, let's go somewhere where we will be treated with some modicum of respect.
But hey, that is just the old guy from Texas. clif -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Pesochinsky Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 8:33 AM To: Tango-L@mit.edu Subject: [Tango-L] Nino Bien When Nino Bien just started, it was a lovely, elegant milonga. People were very excited. I remember when in the whole place there would be maybe only 5-6 foreign dancers. In August, there would be more because of the European vacations, but not many more. This was around 1998-99. Then things began to change. As the number of foregners increased everywhere, there became more and more of them at Nino Bien. Now it is a boring sitting milonga where the Argentine dancers go to hang out with their friends and see their foreign students. Most refuse to dance for fear of being hit on the head with someone's heel or something like that. There are usually more foreigners at Nino Bien than the Argentines. But this is a trend of all evening milongas and one has to be creative in his/her search for the real milonga without the foreigners. Such milongas do exist. However, the restaurant downstairs at Nino Bien serves exquisite food and deserts, which you can order upstairs at the milonga are also great.
