Yes, there must be something else - if you (the leader) make a sharp step back, the connection would break, provided you do not hold her. The leaning can help, but only to a certain limit. So much for not having to pull the lady. Of course, like everything else in tango it is not some ugly pulling, it is actually a more complicated and precisely executed movement, but still, if you don't hold her, the connection will break, or become loose at least. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
