That studio's >milongas have an excess of women. So, one might more accurately claim that the distribution of men and women isn't even across milongas in San Diego. Let's look at tango instruction as a filter, rather than purely instructional. Achieving a balance between men and women requires instruction that appeals equally to both genders. Maybe one couple can do that, but maybe a mix of instructors appealing to different groups of people can generate a better balance within a community. Now, if we could only get those people to attend the same milonga. :-) Steve _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
