"if you (the leader) make a sharp step back, the connection would break, the connection would break, provided you do not hold her" Thus, we hope that the women learn to feel us moving backwards, and know that we expect them to step forward as vigorously as we step forward.

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 --------------------------------- Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
