As someone who has been dancing tango for a decade, around the globe, including lots in Argentina, I can only say that this pure and utter BS.
EDIT: After reading the rest of this: it seems to be written from the perspective of a ballroom dancer.
Just for example, in tango you never walk up to a person and verbally ask for a dance. It's an absolute no-no. Contract is negotiated by eye contact/face only. Only exceptions are people that you know to like dancing with you already and who stand right next to you.
Same with declining. A no is a no. No weird requirement to offer a different dance later; to 'compensate'.
