    In this solo podcast episode, Alejandro Jaime explains that the cabeceo is a process, not just a glance: it requires preparation, sustained eye contact and patience before the invitation happens. He also discusses the importance of knowing tango's history and culture, especially for those not born in Buenos Aires, and reviews floor codes such as avoiding ganchos or lapiz turns in a crowded milonga.
