[Tango-L] Waiting for a dance

[Vince Bagusauskas]

Last week at one of the practicas I went to that had for once more or less 
equal numbers of men/women. One lady who is a reasonable beginner asked me 
this question in an exasperated voice:

"What do I have to do to get a dance around here?"

I was a bit stunned to realize that she was sitting out on that night.

Personally I normally only dance 3 songs with a lady at a practica, 
especially if there are ladies waiting.  If I dance longer, I feel the eyes 
and pressure on me to change partners.
