[Tango-L] Way too much kicking

 For many years I´ve experienced men in Europe leading me on the dance floor in unnecessary kicks, telling me what to do when I stubbornly refused to do stuff like this on a dance floor. Right now I´m in Buenos Aires, where I haven´t been for ten years. And I can assure you, there are not just tourists who lead women in the wildest kicks on the dance floor...

The good old style of Buenos Aires has been lost, as many old dancers agreed with, when I told them about my experiences. I´m not talking about the experimental places, I talk of the old salones bailables. There still are wonderful milongas, but you really have to ask your way around. 

Even in Buenos Aires there is way too much kicking and showing off wild steps.... You even can´t expect people to be moving around on the dance floor any more. I danced with an old milongueiro these days, who finally told the couple in front of us to move on or leave the dance floor. What people used to do in the center of the dance floor, they are now doing right on its ourtskirts too.

Milongas in Buenos Aires still can be really great, but I´ve never been kicked and stepped on in Bs As as often as it happened to me these weeks. And not by tourists only.
