[Tango-L] Social-ethical behaviour and protocol

[Vince Bagusauskas]

Hi Cherie,

I am reporting what a tourist has observed.

I warned a friend before she went to BsAs that the codigos are to be
expected and to work with them.  After going out to many places, including
the famous and traditional milongas, her overall impression was that they
approached her like they would in Australia: because she is a tourist she
was treated differently to the regular locals.

Vince, this is so inaccurate! 

If the "porteno" is under 30, he probably goes to practicas where anything
goes. 

As a dancer who has lived and taught tango with my milonguero parter in BsAs
for many years, let me assure you that the codigos are still respected and
observed in all of the traditional milongas.
