the problem I see in this situation, and happens , is when there is a couple sitting a table close to the dancing floor.
It is very unusual ( I do this with my wife), that the couple carefully choses one corner of the dancing floor to make their entry, usually they simply jump in , with all the unconveniences this produce, when the tanda has already started,the first tango/milonga/valsecito has ended , and the second is already in motion. To place oneself at one corner of the dancing floor is a way to see , the opportunity to enter into "the car lane" as charles comparison remarks. alberto --- El jue 29-oct-09, [email protected] <[email protected]> escribió: > De: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Asunto: [Tango-L] codigos > Para: [email protected] > Fecha: jueves, 29 de octubre de 2009, 11:25 am > tony wrote: > > <<i felt empathy with all your points save the last. > my experience here > in bs.as is that after the tanda has started, couples > entering the > floor tend to force their way into the line of dance and > from that i > felt the codigo was that couples already on the floor were > obliged to > allow latecomers in. for example, dance on the spot rather > than moving > forward and colliding with the newcomers. > interesting>> > > My experience is that it goes both ways, i.e. if someone is > entering the floor and dancing couples see them, then they > may slow down and let them enter, or not, depending on the > traffic, but by the same token if the entering couple > notices that the dancers are not aware of them then they > should yield and carefully enter.
