I agree that learning tango was really like learning a whole new language - in such a beautiful way.<br /><br />Terpischoral - Thanks for the comment and the link. Most of the time I don't have a problem accepting verbal invites either - except when the leader is then offended that I said no thank you. :/Marikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14195873941515232734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-20363747423714205102011-09-05T17:55:57.959-07:002011-09-05T17:55:57.959-07:00I completely agree with you on this.

And I find that the better the dancers are, the more likely they are to use cabeceo. However, I also have no objections at all to being asked to dance directly and no problem saying a polite "no, thanks" (without giving any excuses) if I don't want to dance with someone.<br /><br />In case anyone is interested, I give a description of how the cabeceo is used in Buenos Aires here:<br /><br />http://tangoaddiction.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/the-cabeceo/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5370884568160752646.post-52307968269147489312011-09-02T04:57:16.798-07:002011-09-02T04:57:16.798-07:00I love the cabeceo - from a woman's perspectiv...I love the cabeceo - from a woman's perspective I find it empowering. I can ask for a dance, say yes or no, say I will will dance one track or two, say my feet hurt or love to later - all with body language. In Buenos Aires I was never short of a dance using this form of communication. And I certainly love the men who use it here in UK.<br /> <br />I know some people are not comfortable about eye contact, I know some leaders stand in front of you and ask making it very difficult to refuse, I know it perhaps isn't our culture but you know tango, for me at least, has been like learning a totally new language and the cabeceo is a wonderful part of it.Deirdrehttp://www.healthtouch1.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
