[Tango-L] Vocals and Dancing

[Tango 22]

Fortunately we don’t seem to have dancers who are dogmatic about the music, so I will mix instrumentals and vocal in a tanda.  For me, it is more important to let guests know in advance what to expect than to do requests for alternative music.  We advertise Classic Tango. People attend because that’s what they prefer and expect.

To take it in another direction - I guess I was also surprised that local DJ's would so readily dismiss - even denigrate - the musical preferences of some people. If it is known that some don't like dancing to vocals, should the DJ spring one on unsuspecting dancers in the middle of a tanda? Is it the DJ's job to tell people what they should or shouldn't prefer?
