[Tango-L] Tango on New Years

[Barbra]

I can tell you that, from my experience, any tango offering is going to 
be better attended than you think - and not just by tango dancers.  I 
have recently been to two chamber music concerts featuring tango music 
- totally packed much to the surprise of the hosts.  I have done 
similar "tango rooms" or other tango programs at fund-raisers, and 
folks love it - even if they just come to watch.  If you do a tango 
room, I would "salt it" with several local folks who know how to do the 
dance and people will love the opportunity to watch and listen to the 
music regardless of whether they dance or not - although in the past, I 
have asked "my" dancers to volunteer to wear a red ribbon - and I tell 
the watchers that the folks who are wearing a ribbon have already 
volunteered to try it with them if they ask.  I like the ribbon idea, 
because if the volunteer really wants to take a tanda or two "off" they 
can just take the ribbon off and put it back on.....
