Can the woman ask the man? Is it OK to dance one or two dances, not the whole set? There are many customs, which vary by community and are described on various websites. For me, it comes down to... ...compassion - Learning and dancing tango helps us find ourselves, express ourselves, and connect with others. It can be personal and intense, so we need to respect people's boundaries. And it can be a vulnerable experience -- so bring your empathy as well as your dance shoes. Beyond that, the rules I value most are: Respect other dancers' space - Leaders, learn the rules of the road so you don't bump other dancers. Don't teach on the dance floor - At the dance, please don't correct your partner or tell them how to do a step. It suggests the step is more important than their enjoyment of the dance. Save your feedback for the practica, where we can give constructive criticism in a supportive way. And it really does take two to tango - could the issue be with your own technique? Safe

Tango is a close dance - let's keep each
other healthy! If you're coming down
with a cold, the flu, have a skin lesion, or anything else that may be
contagious, please stay home and get better.
