Yes, but that is your dance partner.
The men who ask a woman to dance at a milonga do not usually want to be told 
anything. If the woman dares to let it be known she is not 100% satisfied 
and deeply impressed with his dancing skills, the usual pattern is that the 
man will go find someone more easily impressed and gloat in front of the one 
who dared to think otherwise.
The ones who have a little more humility are the ones that have the stuff to 
become better dancers, because improving takes a certain amount of patience 
and receptivity.
