NA-E: [Tango-L] ¿Código -- historia?

[Ilene Marder]

On the subject of codes, this morning I came across this Victorian dance 
code article that I find very interesting and think it's well worth the 
read for those interested in codicos. ( Milonga organizers take note 
too, as to the role of hosts!!!) These kinds of  dance hall codes really 
stem from human nature and the desire to avoid unpleasant circumstances 
between the sexes!
I found the 'In the Ballroom" section particularly interesting.
These codicos for Victorian ballrooms were in place just prior to the 
advent of tango...
happy reading...
