(Although I had heard that no
one would dance when Gardel sings or is played, out of respect to him.)
I believe Gardel is not danced because the tempos wax and wane and it truly is
music for listening, not out of respect for him. There are many tangos that are
not danced for the same reason--Por Una Cabeza is another example (except for
in a Scent of a Woman). But we're talking traditional milongas here. Neither
are women vocalists played for dancing. Go figure. Or several taboos and
preferences of the very traditional Porteño milonguero.
