does anyone have any special advice that they find resonates with the "giants"? are there any differences?in emphasis? jackie wong ****************************************************************************** Jackie: Since the man "follows the woman," the size of the woman's step is to a large extent dependent on the man's frame. If the man leads a small step, the woman should feel small movement in the frame. But then, the man has to have a FIRM (not STIFF) frame. I place my right hand on the woman's "small of the back" which is just about above her waist. My experience is she can feel my frame better. If I hold my hand higher, it can feel like I'm pulling her into my chest and off her balance or axis.
I suggest the men practice with a chair with coasters. They should lead the chair to move BEFORE they step.
