Ah Niki, come to nyc, where the gender imbalance is in your favor!

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

Friends sit together at tables, whether of same gender or not (at least
