Yes. Very good points Dubravko.

And I complicate it further myself by asking favorite partners ahead of 
time for "the next Milonga" etc. Then maybe it's a slow milonga I don't 
care for. Ugh. <shooting-self-in-foot>

Or a lady will ask me to dance, but it's a Milonga and she's too new for 
that or too short for me to enjoy myself, and then I have to put her off 
until another Tango tanda that's more suitable. But most of these ladies 
I know pretty well and I can decline politely.
