[Tango-L] Etiquette for live music

[Lois Donnay]

ᐧ
We in MN are incredibly lucky to have an Argentine violinist who married a
Minnesotan.  Her father is a bandoneon player who played in Calo's
orchestra. He is currently here visiting his daughter and playing several
times while he is here. Besides that, a tango singer who sings in the
Homero Manzi show in Buenos Aires followed his wife who moved here for her
job.

Although I have been to BA many times and have heard many live orchestras,
I don't exactly know the etiquette of when to dance to a live orchestra.
Last year when an orchestra visited, dancers went out on the floor
immediately, and that just seemed so wrong.  Waiting as long as they do in
BA might be impossible for American dancers who barely listen to the music
anyway.

What is right?
