[Tango-L] 5 tips for your trip

[NANCY]

Astrid,

  I am quite certain this was tongue-in-cheek because
it is all the gaffes that tourists make when going to
BsAs milongas.  We better add in - taking out your
dance shoes and grunting around while you put them on
in the dance hall, seating yourself at a table (
except for Canning afternoons), asking the organizer
if you can put on a demonstration and then promoting
oneself as having been asked to perform at various
milongas, and the worst of all, ladies, asking a man
to dance in a milonga!

Been there, seen that
