[Tango-L] Translation Codes II

[Tango22]

  my experience herein bs.as is that after the tanda has started,  
couples entering thefloor tend to force their way into the line of  
dance and from that i
felt the codigo was that couples already on the floor were obliged to  
allow latecomers in.

Perhaps there are some cultural differences here too. In Aus. it was  
(is) the custom to invite a lady to dance at the table and to escort  
her, from behind, to the floor.  This leads to couples walking to a  
spot on the floor without a lot of regard for the flow, especially  
disruptive in a crowded floor.  We suggest dancers enter the line of  
dance from the edge, lady's back to the tables (for protection).    
 From there, there are a number of ways to enter the freeway at the  
general speed and not disrupt the flow.  Perhaps it is like BsAs  
taxis, where the unwritten rule seems to be, if you have your nose in  
front, the space is yours, but don't hesitate.
