I think you were conned there Cherie. I've been on the receiving end of more than one uninvited waist wrap. It's a situation that always calls for the hand sanitizer before inviting the next woman to dance. I have been to many classes in many different parts of the US, and I have never seen women taught to initiate a leg wrap around the man's waist. Believe it or not, women here are generally taught to follow the man's lead.
While it is very dangerous to make any generalizations about people, particularly about those from the US, I will take the chance and say that I find it extremely unlikely that any woman could be unaware of the message that wrapping her leg around a man's waist sends to every man in the room. (Understanding that the man didn't lead her to do that.) American men are not so different from Argentine men that we can't recognize a blatant proposition. I suspect that the "shocked" response by the woman in your example was entirely feigned.
