Fine when you're learning or dancing with a > beginner, but boring after a while. Why labeling something as BS so easily? If a normal "social" couple cannot do it, doesn't mean it is BS Ok, what if we have a good leader and a good follower? I can tell you - in this case EVERY INDIVIDUAL step, pivot, cross - whatever - can be lead, no matter if the beat is slow or fast. Actually, the faster the beat, the more I need her to follow my lead instead of "helping" me with steps of her own When this happens, (the lady does the steps on her own), she slows me down eventually because of the lack of connection involved with it - I must disconnect - otherwise her steps will lead me - unfortunately this is not an appropriate thing to happen under normal circumstances. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
