[Tango-L] chatting during the cortinas

[Tango 22]

Sergio comments............The conversation we are discussing is very brief, a 
few seconds, the duration depends on when the couple in front of you 
starts moving, it does (it should) not disrupt the ronda at all.

This is why one wonders if this pleasant custom has become a boorish affectation, with at least a minute of loud conversation before every song where one can't hear a thing, let alone absorb and consider the upcoming song (often given as a reason).  never saw Tete do it; he loved the dance too much.
