On the subject of codes, this morning I came across this Victorian dance code article that I find very interesting and think it's well worth the read for those interested in codicos. ( Milonga organizers take note too, as to the role of hosts!!!) These kinds of dance hall codes really stem from human nature and the desire to avoid unpleasant circumstances between the sexes! I found the 'In the Ballroom" section particularly interesting. These codicos for Victorian ballrooms were in place just prior to the advent of tango... happy reading... Ilene
