[Tango-L] CITA begins in BsAs

[Janis Kenyon]

I wish I could put out the word to single women (especially those over 50)
that they are wasting their time and money by going to CITA.  They pay
$15-20US per class and don't know until they arrive that they have to pay
another $15US per class to hire a taxi dancer.  They could be going to the
milongas everyday from 4-10pm.  Single women learn by dancing with various
partners in the milongas.  They don't need to learn steps in classes.

On Sunday I met Jackie from Spokane, Washington.  She told me she came to
Buenos Aires to dance with the milongueros.  I told her that there are no
milongueros teaching for CITA, and there won't be any milongueros dancing at
the CITA milongas either.  If she wants to dance with milongueros, she
should forget the classes and go to the afternoon milongas.  She was told
that so-and-so is a milonguero, so she signed up for three of his classes at
CITA.

I happened to meet her on the street while she was trying to find the
location of her first class.  She had no idea where she was going.  I
escorted her from one location to another until we arrived at Bauen Suites
where the class was being held.  Jackie had not made arrangements to hire a
taxi dancer, so I recommended she ask Julio to practice with her since he
was there to translate the class for English-speakers.

At least she'll have another week in Buenos Aires to dance in the milongas.
