I agree.
Contra-body torsion is extremely important in tango and requires a flexible
spine.
One of my favourite warm-up exercises is to stand backing a wall, a short
distance
away. With hands up, palms out and without moving the feet, twist as much as
you
can to place your palms on the wall. If you can twist enough, you can place
your
forehead on the wall. The aim is to twist enough so that your shoulders are
parallel
to the wall but this is difficult.
If you have a practice partner, it's fun to do it while backing each other,
twist in
opposite directions and place palms against each others. Check who's the most
flexible - it's usually the lady :-).
