Steve. it is so incredible how you guys give all this outpouring of support and appreciation for what other men tell you, but pretty much attack, deny and ignore what women tell you. It seems to me that Nancy and I (although I do not know her) are pretty experienced in the realm of dancing in BA with some very good milongueros, and yet you all hardly give a nod to our experiences and information. It makes it all seem so one way and wooden. Last time I was in BA, some guy whom I recognized from previous trips asked me to dance. Seemed safe. He thought I was argentine, I am not, he was from Seattle. After he learned I was from the US. coupled with his bad lead that ran me into a table, and as he was leaning backward, taking me off my axis, and several of his pasos I could not execute because my weight was forward on him , he turned to me and said" your dancing is very heavy on me and your are hurting my recently opearated -on knee." This crap only comes from foreigners who have no sense of themselves and I think have a really deep resentment towards women and they use their tango as a bludgeon against ladies that are non-argentines....can you imagine this guy saying such a thing to a Portena???? not me.. So, fellas, quit being so stuck on yourselves and listen to what the experienced women dancers have to say...it's far less incestuous and would be mind-expanding for you. sherrie

And, just in case anyone is questioning Steve's ability to remember all those details, I was sitting with him once or twice at a milonga - he was taking copious notes after every tanda and still managed to get the dances.
