[Tango-L] Origin of Tandas

[Dubravko Kakarigi]

It seems like most people (including myself) stayed together for at least 4-5 songs. It was really hard to get further dancing after your "first set" - you just could not see accross the hall long enough to spot someone you'd want to dance with and establish a visual contact. So, at one point, I ended up asking a lady sitting next to me to dance just becuase I wanted to dance. That was a mistake!! and I couldn't get out of it gracefully and quickly enough. So long live tandas! What a great invention for social dancing.

Dubravko - as far as you could tell, what were the dancers doing when 
Los Reyes del Tango were playing continuously? Did they stay together 
for (say) two dances and then split up, or what?
