[Tango-L] Level of dancing in Buenos Aires milongas

[Tom Stermitz]

10 years ago the milongas still had a lof 40 & 50 year dancers.

Things have grown a lot in Buenos Aires, which means that the  
milongas are dominated with 1-10 year dancers. Some of them are quite  
good, but the average is no longer what it was in the "good old days".
