Body language (using the eyes) has been used to invite or discourage an invitation in Australia for all of the 45 years I have attended dances, though it was never rigidly defined and is typically accompanied by an invitation. I met my wife, thanks to an inviting smile; I can see it today. If I approach a woman at the dance who clearly averts her eyes, I will not proceed. On the other hand, if I'm walking across the room for a purpose other than dancing, I will keep my eyes down to avoid being waylaid. It's not such a mystery, just be natural. It's not necessary to work at it. Best wishes, John _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
