My estimate of foreigners at Nino Bien last Thursday was 95%. I didn't go around the room and count the portenos. I merely observed the dancing and didn't see very many locals. I have lived here almost nine years and know the portenos from the foreigners.
I remember when the portenos outnumbered the foreigners in Nino Bien. The fact is that portenos cannot afford several nights a week at the milongas as they did only five years ago. If foreigners are content to travel to Buenos Aires to dance with other foreigners, then the trip is worthwhile. If not, they may want to reconsider. That's the reality of the situation. It's not going back to the way it was when portenos were the majority in the milongas. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
