intended to draw in men and reduce the number of women. "Bathing Suit
Milonga" is an easy to understand concept...
Why don't you post the following ad in one of the vernaculars:
"Sexy but desperate-
20 (30/50...) shapely charming women in desperate need for MEN awaiting YOU
at our party.
We are ready to court you, charm you, put our arms around you, press our
half-exposed bosoms against yours, all evening. We are all walking around in
our swimsuits, just to attract you, and every woman who does not do this,
has to pay a fine of 20 $!
You- don't even need to be well endowed or have any of the other charming
characteristics usually required of a gigolo.
All you have to do, is to be willing to spend most of the evening walking
around in a large circle, with one or the other of us glued to your body,
and perform certain movements invented by passionate Latinos. These can be
rather intricate and take years to learn, but never mind-
we just want you to BE THERE. If you can actually dance Argentine tango,
this will be an additional advantage to being male, Any Male-
remember: we are Desperate !!!
incensed enough to risk being topic

P.S.:
"Milonguero", do the men get in for free ?
A caveat: you may not attract any men, but you will certainly loose almost
all the women. And if you do attract men like this, they will probably the
ones who make the women want to leave.

Finally, some on topic responses!
From this short survey, it looks like near a beach/pool in the summer this might work - more women said they would go then men.
As some of you have forgotten what I said (or just ignored it) please keep in mind that:
The price would be $20 for anyone, with a 50% discount if you showed up in a bathing suit - that applied to both men and women.
Also, to those of you that think this is illegal that you can not discriminate via price on dress - think again. That is totally legal - bars, clubs and "private partys" do it all the time. We are not even doing a sexual discrimination thing like Ladies Night where one gender drinks fo free. I have been to non-tango clubs and parties in NYC where you can get in for a reduced price if dressed "appropriately". Usually it is "in costume" or "all black" = 1/2 price.
P.S. I know men and I know tango dancers. I can assure you positively that many of the "Advanced" (By that I mean people taking the advanced classes ast the schools) tango dancers would go to one of these in a second. In addition, it would not be that hard to keep out the rif-raf. In NYC we could just put it on ReportTango and Lipkin's web site and then make sure that we waited till after midnight before making announcements at a milonga - the beginners are gone by then and non-tango people do not visit the web sites.

Linda, you had it backwards. I was replying to someone that said only people that want to gawk at women, not good dancers would show up.
It was their belief, not mine, that gawkers would not be good dancers, to in order to reply to them, I pretended their belief was valid.
Also, I can say without a doubt that a well formed ocho can be as sensual as any curve on a woman's body. I like to watch good dancers as much as the next milonguero. But like other men, I also enjoy the site of a well shaped female body.

It is interesting that you include beginners as "rif-raf."

I agree that it is a bit strange to call beginning tango dancers
"rif-raf," and I hope that was not Linda's intent.
The term "rif-raf" is probably more logically applied to people who would
want to pass out bunny ears for the women to wear at the bathing suit
milonga.

I suggest mercifully placing some Playboy magazines on the table on
front of the sofa, while the ladies make the "rif-raf" sit out his
dances.

Dancers who show up in their birthday bathing suit should probably bring
towels to sit on ?? :-)

Just before Christmas last year I went to a beach party in Oxford with my
sister. This was held in a pub. The organiser had covered the floor with
sand, decorated the place with origami palm trees and seagulls (full size),
installed one of those big industrial space heaters used for heating
factories and warehouses, and employed a Jamaican steel band. They played
one tango (La Paloma) so I suppose this story is just about eligible for
this group.
Guests were expected to wear bathing suits or other beach wear. I wore a
Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and sunglasses. Prescription lenses, as I am blind
as a bat without glasses. I didn't take my ordinary glasses with me. I
danced with a tall and very attractive lady who was wearing a skimpy summer
dress. She was extremely friendly and responsive. Afterwards my sister said:
"That .. . er. . . person you were smooching with. Are you sure she's a
woman?" "Why?" I said. "Do you know something I don't?" "Well, she . . .
he.. . had a very prominent Adam's apple". Well I couldn't see. All I can
say is my partner gave a very good impression of being female. There might
be a moral here if this beachwear milonga idea ever catches on.
