Miradamiranda.. are you just visiting in Europe.. or do you reside there now. Are you in Germany? Or? if I may ask..

For lessons and Practicas, I often wear flats and trousers as I frequently required to lead. At Milongas I ususally wear a skirt, hopefully something swishy and heels. Regina is a favourite fit for small, narrow feet. For festivals I get fancier... Bright flowers seem to attract attention!

You can announce yourself by contacting the host for the event usually through their FB page. I have done this several times successfully in addition to finding a billet with a local. I actually live in a village but drive 96 km once or twice a week to tango. I stay overnight. I also host...

If the behaviour is consistent that the followers are 'unfriendly' I suggest he look at himself, and perhaps in particular his clothing, grooming and oral health and hygiene. AS a 5'3" follow, my head is sometimes level with your mouth and your armpits. Another suggestion might be that this...
