Tango music played on the sound system. The protesters demonstrated a few different dance stances. No actual dancing occurred. Many photographers and media outlets showed up. In the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.batimes.com.ar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buenos Aires Times<\/a>, nothing has shown up about the protest. It&#8217;s the only English language paper here. Will research and see if any other papers have any mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an important issue in Buenos Aires, as many teachers, organizers, performers, and students await a return to Tango. Honestly, expecting the old normal ways now is not important. What is important is to return to dancing Tango.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, there are many outdoor milongas around the city in various parks, somewhat sanctioned as all observe sanitary protocols, including wearing masks and using lots of hand sanitizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many tango dancers do not like dancing in open embrace, as many feel, including me, that this is not tango. Again and again, the most important issue is the government&#8217;s issue of sanitary protocols. Return to the embrace again. To hear the tango music streaming into the clubs and spaces of Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Now we wait. We see if something happens.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"563\" width=\"750\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1939\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/travelingtango.com\/?attachment_id=1939\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/travelingtango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wp-16155592857252273640523039190229.jpg?fit=1667%2C1250&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1667,1250\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"wp-16155592857252273640523039190229.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/travelingtango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wp-16155592857252273640523039190229.jpg?fit=750%2C562&amp;ssl=1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/travelingtango.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wp-16155592857252273640523039190229.jpg?resize=750%2C563&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"tango protest Image courtesy Ruthoffen.com\" class=\"wp-image-1939 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/563;aspect-ratio:1.3328;width:204px;height:auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travelingtango.com\">https:\/\/travelingtango.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We need sanitary protocols!
