[Tango-L] Skilled women [was: buenos aires milongas]

[Keith]

Just what skills are you talking about Jeff? When you say ... "leading much
of anything is lost on them", it sounds like you're talking about figures.
In BsAs, pretty much all anybody dances in the milongas is Walking, Ochos
and Giros. It's all about improvising to the music Jeff, not the figures.
