Nancy.....not all women get treated so elegantly by milongueros....sometimes the friendships are so familiar and casual that the man does not escort her back to her chair...however, I find that if the man really appreciates and enjoys the tanda he had with me, his final and most all-encompassing thank you and sign of respect and appreciation is to escort me all the way back to my seat, not just to the aisle. Typically , they hold your hand the whole way back to the seat or leave their arm around your waist, it is a very flattering way to let you know that your are a Diosa(goddess). Even what appears to be some very rustic men, maybe from the Provincias, extend this incredible courtesy, as though the woman has just performed her heart out for him and has to be assisted back to her seat to recover...very nice... how often do we see this in communities outside of BsAs....not so much....sherrie

Good for you. but yes, I do sometimes check out other guys on the dance floor. More as a method of elimination than as prospecting for next partners. These milongueros whom I named ( and add Pedro Sanchez to the list and Anibal and Adolfo, too) have never failed to make me feel cherished as a dance partner. Let me ask you this. Do you always walk your partner back to the table from which she came? Or at least to the edge of the floor? And then do you return to your seat during the cortina? I am betting you don't. I am betting that you are out there scrambling to grab a partner even as she is leaving the floor. Now, that is disrepectful! That seems to be the habit of American men and I find it very much like slaughter house treatment of cattle. "We are done with you, off with your heads." Nancy you’d lose that bet. Yes I walk my partner back to her table and then return to mine. I’m not the guy that dances every tanda I‘m very particular about the music I dance to. I also watch the floor and when I see a follower chewing gum, talking or looking around the room and not giving 100% attention into the man she’s dancing with I avoid her. So Nancy……Your Fired David _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
