common scents
Recently a few emails were sent to the tango list regarding scent sensitivities in the milongas and practicas. The following opinions were expressed...
. . .
Due to some people having scent sensitivities, if at all possible, could you please refrain from wearing perfume or cologne to the Wednesday Night Practica.
Wendy Hatanaka

No disrespect intended to anyone but everyone has sensitivities of some kind to something.
I love dancing with a partner who is wearing a top quality cologne. For me, a good scent enhances my experience of the dance. I'm not the only one who feels this way and in fact in one of the first tango classes I took (not in Vancouver), participants were advised to wear perfume/cologne.
Rather than trying to change the environment, perhaps it is important to change oneself. May I suggest taking a claritin or a natural allergy remedy to those who have sensitivities?
I really enjoy your practica and look forward to seeing you on the dance floor.
Best regards,
Jessica Silver

How about some people wearing some antiperspirant? And carry hankies to wipe off the sweat? And wash hands instead of using them to wipe noses? And what about barring persons who have colds not to attend?

Welcome
Welcome to El Chamuyo. This blog has been set up to be a place for the Vancouver tango community to share ideas, opinions and to debate about Argentine Tango. Until now the main way to communicate with the entire Vancouver community has been via the All Vancouver Tango email list which administrator John Sanders has requested to be used only for promoting tango events and activities and NOT as a forum for personal opinion. So here is the place for your opinions. The main difference being that the email list gets a message delivered to everyone's inbox. We propose that if there is something you would like to bring to everyone's attention you may send an email to the list with a link inviting them to join your discussion here at this blog. There will be no moderator for the blog. It is open to and created by everyone. Your posts will publish immediately without being edited or filtered. However obscene or very aggressive posts will be deleted. The only rule is to please keep the subject matter Argentine Tango related. There will be different topics listed in the sidebar to get things started off. If there is something that you would like to post that warrants a new topic you can post it in the 'general' thread with a note of your new topic idea and a separate topic thread will be created.
. . .
Chamuyo / cha-mu-sho/ a lunfardo word that means to talk or to chat, sometimes it means to talk bullshit or chat someone up. It is a common activity in the very social and expressive Argentine society where hours are spent in the cafes or over a mate talking about politics, philosophy, soccer or any other topic.
