This of course means there are probably times when I am not part of the solution. There are times on the dance floor where I have stepped on my partners feet, but very few times when they have stepped on my feet. I wonder why that is?
I asked my wife and she said something about "trying to lead." :-(
Ah, but as my tango teacher put it: "In the home, the woman rules; but on the dance floor, it's the man."
If, on the dance floor, the woman slips out of her a zen-like state of presentness (does not follow), then she will get her feet stepped on. I support the practice of men leading -- on the dance floor. Anywhere else, cooperation and reciprocity is best.
