[Tango-L] Why doesn't this happen in BA?

[Tony]

The phrase "Tango Hog" was used recently - someone who keeps a partner 
on the dance floor for tanda after tanda.

I saw something like this happen once, let's say "Guy #1" is dancing 
with an attractive girl for song after song, and Guy 2 wants a dance, 
gets impatient and goes up to the pair on the dance floor, between 
songs, and says something. Next thing I see the two guys arguing in the 
kitchen about right etiquette.

I'm guessing there was nothing happening between guy #1 and the girl. 
Even so, I don't think another dancer is really in a position to say 
anything without looking a bit desperate. And surely if the girl was 
unhappy she would have left the dance floor. I can see that a DJ being 
outside of a situation like this has the chance to say something to 
encourage changing partners (couples excepted of course), without 
directing attention at any pair in particular, or whatever codes a 
community decides on.
