[Tango-L] Getting students to dances

[Lois Donnay]

I do that every Tuesday - found a nice café with half-price bottles of
wine that will let us play tango. Only the regulars come, though!

students 
>out after class, similar to what a lot of tours to BsAs do.

So how does a teacher get her students to a milonga if they don't think 
they're ready? I would love to see my students go out more often.
Towards 
that I organize several events that are easy to attend for dancers and 
non-dancers alike. We have great, friendly dancers in the community who
make 
a point of dancing with beginners, a practice I encourage with rewards
like 
free lessons or admission.  Still some beginners won't venture out -
"not 
good enough yet" or "won't know anybody".

I would love to have the kind of influence that you seem to credit
teachers 
with!
