I've been thinking that it doesn't really makes sense to fill up the tango part of this blog with detailed reports on my milongas and learning experiences. In posts where it's possible to tell where I must have been and when, my unwillingness to risk hurting anyone's feelings (or making myself look a fool) would mean leaving out nearly everything that's bad or tricky to deal with, and consequently everything remotely entertaining. I think it would end up anodyne and give a false impression. I often find the bad bits humorous or interesting, and they really contribute a lot to what I get out of my dancing.
So I think that if I have something waspish to say I will reserve it for a while and perhaps just describe whatever it was later, without mentioning any particular names or places. I haven't done fiction since I was at school, my mind doesn't work that way without a lot of persuasion, but perhaps I'll give it a go if it seems required.
I will do an occasional series on "Annoyances", the minor but tiresome and ludicrous things that I'm sure must happen constantly to everyone else as well.
And perhaps I'll do some brief descriptive reviews of the places I go to dance, with:
- What the class was like or about, if applicable
- Atmosphere and hospitality
- Practical considerations, opening hours, how to get home
- What I thought of the DJ'ing
- Floorcraft
- Anyone or anything interesting that turned up or happened
- Where to find the website or schedule
And if there's anything else on my mind I'll just say it, and see what gets comments. I'm vain.
What do you think?

You know we're all gluttons for tango videos, the good as well as the bad! (Or maybe a knitting video once in a while, too. I only know how to crochet.)
;-)
Sounds perfect! I would especially like to hear about your annoyances/pleasures and the entertaining things/people that happen to you.
Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
Well, I can't see how to delete spam, so thank goodness it's in Portugese.
That is *quality* spam.
Keep writing, that is all I ask.

I worry about this too! I don't even want anyone to come across my blog and find something negative about themselves on it. I also like my annonymity. That rules a lot out! But I like your suggestion of waiting a while before recounting a tale. I may try that.
I think this is a great idea! Sometimes I find the comments about 'this leader was that' or 'that follower was terrible' so negative and shows the worst of tango. We're all insecure enough without all of that too. But little annoyances are always good ;-)
