"Of course, the indication is just that. Like every other lead in Tango, it is
an invitation, not a command. The lady may ignore it if she wishes, or even
fight it. One hopes that the latter will be rare."
I do not wish to brake "the one liner rule" so...
This would be the same as saying that the passengers riding in a car can fight
the driver and antagonize his movements of the steering wheel.
Dancing, like in many human activities, can be very easy: one leads and the
other one follows.
Then who in the world is going to dance with a follower that ignores the lead
or even worse antagonizes or fights it.
I grew up in Buenos Aires, I never saw such a thing. The replacement of the
word "invitation" for "marcar" (to lead) is an euphemism, apparently needed
abroad.
Argentines do not have any problem with saying - el hombre marca y la mujer
sigue - The man "marca" (suggests ?) and the woman follows...and she is happy
to do so.
Best regards, Sergio
