[Tango-L] Milonga 101 -- leaving the floor at the end of a tanda

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

I don't know about otehr women, but I don't consider myself
as "having a seat".  I do have a place for a drink or where
I stash my shoes, but I tend to wander around, sometimes in
search of a partner or visit with friends.  I think this is
common in my neck of the woods.  Perhaps this is one reason
N. American women do not expect to be escorted back to her
seat or off of the floor.  By that time, they might miss
the next desirable partner.  It seems that few people
actually wait to hear what the next tanda is before they
ask someone to dance.

A few thoughts,
Trini de Pittsburgh
