Thanks Carol that's what I always say if a new partner pushes too hard. Often the girl is quite relieved and says that someone told her to do that. I've now identified an individual in our Tango community who is telling girls to do this. But he's not a teacher and he's not one of my students so I don't see what I can do about it. Anybody have any ideas?
