[Tango-L] 5 tips for your trip

[David Hodgson]

Astrid:
There are women asking all the time in the milongas, it is just not the way
your expectations tell you this is going to happen.
It is not that the women ask, they do all the time. It is how they ask. Now
that is cool, sexy stuff.

Neil, I had my knee jerk reaction. But after reading it a second time I
would have used the word "bashful" rather than "shy".
Funny stuff....

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
