Etiquette of The Week
A TANDA Although the codes are not strict here in North America, there is still an etiquette involved when it comes to dancing a tanda. A tanda is a collection of either 4 Tangos, 3 Vals, or 3 Milongas. When you get up to dance for a tanda, you are committing yourself to your partner for the duration of the tanda. You should dance together until the end of the tanda unless some of the following were to occur: You or your partner get hurt, your partner is hurting you, or your partner is being rude/disrespectful. In the last two situations, you would then say, "Thank you", to signify you are finished dancing and return to your seat. Of course, if the situation is bad enough, you wouldn't even say thank you :)
