Mario,
Are you addressing specifically on the dance floor at a milonga or in general?
If you're referring to being on the dance floor at a milonga, I've seen women
teaching, also, though not as much. Women, I think, tend to ask for more
feedback than men. When I correct teaching going on at a milonga, it's usually
because the man has been asked by the woman.
Is it primiordal? Perhaps. I chose a mate that I thought was smarter than me
in many ways (at least, I thought so at the time and he still amazes me, as
well as, makes me roll my eyes). I guess that would put the opposite situation
as mothering (ala Courtney Cox & David Arquette). Can't see the latter working
so well in tango. Equality is good, too. So perhaps you just see the man
teaching more because the mothering types aren't out there.

Is it something primiordal or perhaps a mating ritual
but why is it always the guy on the dance floor who is doing the 'teaching'?
and is that why the dance is going in the direction it is?
