[Tango-L] ELITISM

[barbara]

Yes, let's hear it for Mexico City!! Al and I have been there twice and 
found it the friendliest tango community we have ever experienced (only 
rivalled by Bs As in the '80s when we were the only foreign visitors). 
With lots of good dancers as well, of various styles, and mixing styles. 
I danced close embrace, salon and nuevo tango with partners of all ages, 
from 20 somethings to my age (!). Here in Vallarta we have a small 
community with lots of beginners, but we all try to dance with as many 
partners as possible, and certainly with all visitors.  So, to avoid 
"elitism", come to Mexico!
Abrazos,
Barbara
