You know when you go into the milonga and you see new people, beginners, or a beginner, and no-one is dancing with them or even talking to them...or they are, but they're lecturing them about how to dance, humiliating them, publicly.
It's easy to see people get caught up with 'being someone', strutting their stuff in front of everyone else. You can see it all the time. It's a non-verbal form of bragging.
When I first met that guy and he said he was a beginner I said, delighted: "Oh, good!". His face brightened.
- "Really?" he said.
- "Yes, of course. Why?"
-"Well, it's just that that's not the typical reaction"
How sad that that is their experience. I hope more people will change things for them.
