[Tango-L] Franelear -- have you tried it?

[MACFroggy@aol.com]

Just a small example of tango "style" misunderstandings:

Ruben and I often have U.S. couples as students, and as part of our teaching 
program, we accompany them to milongas to dance and explain the codigos, etc. 
One time Ruben takes the lady out to dance and after the tanda whispers to me 
that I have to explain to her that wrapping her leg around the man's waist 
gives a certain "impression" to the Argentine milongueros.

When I spoke to the lady about this, she was shocked. "But that's what we 
learned in our tango classes in the U.S.!!"

Responsible tango teachers around the world should be aware of possible 
misunderstandings of certain moves in other cultures--especially in the milongas of 
Buenos Aires.
