If I have built up her confidence to the point that she feels secure and becomes elastic, I wouldn't expect her to be trying to correct for my overwinding of her body. It takes away from the ultimate art. And, we have to remember. The women are the ones that can dance! We're just along for the ride, suggesting what
we would like to see!" </TFH> Then <Astrid wrote> "why does reading this make me feel uncomfortable? Starting with the first sentence, I was beginning to cringe. And arriving at the last two sentences, no, sorry, Tango-for-her, the flounces that you see swishing by the door is me outta here..." </Astrid> Thank you Astrid. Is good, and rewarding, to hear what women want from dance. I work very hard on my lead to create full conversation with my follow. My regular partner would walk after the word "canvas", never mind the rest. The minute she might even imagine I think she is brush, or instrument, or anything but full partner in the dance is the day I look for new partner. And the day I say that I can't dance but am only there to dance her is the day she tells me to go take dance lessons and learn how to dance too. Oh. That has already happened. :-) _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
