Rules of the road :: Felipe Martinez:: SF Tango Marathon

RULES OF THE ROAD

Treat each other with COURTESY and RESPECT. We may have different styles, opinions, values in tango (and elsewhere), but we all share the same passion.

Invitation: Use CABECEO. Followers, be proactive. Leaders, be clear with your intention, invite with a nod and re-confirm before you approach the follower.

Entrance: Catch the eye of the approaching leader and receive acknowledgement before entering the floor. Merge smoothly and move with the flow of the ronda right away.

Flow: Move with the ronda - do not hold up traffic and do not overtake. If bumping, apologize even if it is not your fault.

Exit: Leaders, accompany the follows to their seats and CLEAR THE FLOOR after the tanda. This allows dancers to use cabeceo to invite a partner for the next dance.

Absolutely NO TEACHING on the dance floor.

Safety: Any harassment or abusive behavior is unacceptable. If you feel threatened, let the staff know immediately.
