This is what I was reacting to and I don't think that I distorted anything. I don't dance like you prescribe, and hence I don't dance Argentine Tango. I work very hard to give any partner whatever latitude she wants. With my regular partner, we totally treat the dance as a conversation. I suggest a lead, and she follows. But she follows as she chooses and goes where she will. I then must react / follow her interpretation of my lead. Of course, I can lead so clearly(?) that she really has no choice, and sometimes I do. But that is only when I am too tired to really dance. Then I just lead with clarity and dance through her.
