This would match my experience. Tango i surprisingly popular amongst
people who don't actually go out of their way to learn it. We have quite
excellent attendance to tango workshops held at folk festivals here in
Australia. Of course, the alternative viewpoint then is whether the
tango dancers you do have are going to be happy having a crowd of
gawkers. Salting the room with some local tango dancers who are
expecting to be on display is probably a good idea.
