To the shrinking violets of the milonga
Do you fear that nobody will want to dance with you at the milonga, so you consider not attending?
Do you hide your shyness by checking your phone messages or by making polite conversation, when really you would prefer to be dancing?
Ladies, on the dance-floor, do you often worry that you won't understand your partner's lead?
Gentlemen, do you feel intimidated by the couples dancing around you?
What does your body language say about you at the milonga?
Here's some highly recommended viewing, for all shrinking violets, not just those at the milonga!
