am glad you explained the cabeceo code againhoweverI go to BA
every six months, and things do change from one trip to the next...I think it
was at El Arranque where the tandas were extending to 5 and 6 dances...it was
exhausting and I became very careful about with whom I accepted
Yes, sherrie, I agree, the length of the tanda should be a consideration more
than the number of songs in it, although, folks get used to certain number of
songs/tanda and are surprised if you deviate from the standard. I try to stay
within 10 minutes/tangotanda when I DJ, which may be two,
Hi,
I recall the days in Tallahassee when we wanted to educate the dancers,
and I agree with Dubravko that we should cater to the audience to
maximize dancing. On the other hand, what if 80 percent of the people
are newcomers or beginners with no music appreciation and moderate and

I don't think I have ever seen a DJ in BA danceIt is sort of like a
Salsa musician, say a Congo player or Timbales player...they are
musicians, they learn one expression of the music, that is creating it,
not dancing it.
Similarily, the wonderful DJ's in BA are musical artists in their own
Similarily, the wonderful DJ's in BA are musical artists in their own
rights...they study it as a scienct and art from from early in their

Someone else brought up another very good point, that there are maybe
4, 5 or even 6 tangos per tanda in Ba..IMO this is a dance
disaster...one of these tandas can last as long as 15 minutes..too long
to take a chance on dancing with an unknown entitiy whether it be
male or female...this is a
I didn’t read the post that said there could be 4,5 or even 6 songs in a
tanda in BA. In any case that’s not true.
There are never more than 4 tangos in a tanda and in most cases only 3
milongs in a tanda. I’ve danced at dozens of different milongas in BA and this
has always been the
Sometimes newer DJs will post a question about why there are not more milongas
or waltzes to play and what is the proper balance for a good night. No one
likes a milonga of too many tangos, or all slow ones, or too much D'Arienzo,
etc. nor one with too many waltzes ... is that possible? ;-)
This is a good point. Several DJ's I don't like are also not good
dancers. The ones I do like are good dancers.
