[Tango-L] women leading

[Lois Donnay]

Not only that, but we are shaping what exists in Buenos Aires. When I lead in
practicas and lessons in BsAs, Argentine women will ask me later to dance with
them in the milonga (early, though-later and the "old guard" will get 
upset.) I
have also led men (Argentine) in the milongas in BsAs.

Would this have happened without us foreigners in BsAs? Maybe. But not as
quickly. Would tango be as popular in BsAs without us? Maybe, but not as much.
Who can tell? Who gets to decide?

Some philosopher once said "You can't look at a thing without changing it".
Maybe we non-Argentines have been looking at this too much.
