[Tango-L] Socio-ethical behavior and protocol

[Vince Bagusauskas]

Sergio,

The manners you highlight, must be reserved to certain milongas in BsAs and
for the locals.  It was not what I observed how they treated the group I was
travelling with to BsAs or to other tourists.  On the whole the men behaved
as men do here in Australia.  Yes I did observe the cabeco in some milongas.

This behavior is considered very poor manners. The invitation to dance must
be done with a stare and a nod (cabeceo).
 
Only poor dancers, or inconsiderate men come from the side or from behind to
ask a lady to dance.
