A lot of these problems would be lessened if the cabeceo were used more
outside Buenos Aires.

This prevents men from being embarrassed about approaching a woman and being
refused a dance.

It protects women from the social obligation of dancing with someone who
asks you but with whom you do not want to dance.

It allows women to invite men to dance.
