[Tango-L] gender imbalance

[Nina Pesochinsky]

I forgot to mention something that was the reason that I wrote the 
post in the first place -  any one dancer, a man or a woman, needs 
only one other dancer at any moment that he/she would like to 
dance.  It is ot a requirement that all other people in the room are 
dancin.  So gender balance/imbalance is irrelevant.   It is not how 
many are there that is important, but rather who is there.

If a woman wants to dance with a particular man, and he is busy 
dancing with someone else, he is not available and it is irrelevant 
whether there are other men and that there may be gender 
balance.  That particular man is not available for that particular 
tanda.  Instead dancing with whomever, and spend the precious music 
while thinking "I wish I was dancing with the other one", it might be 
better to sit.

And, (would you believe ?!), it is possible to walk into a milonga in 
BsAs, full of people, some very good dancers, and say  "There is 
nobody here to dance with!".
