To David - with the shoulder injury/pain, I have a similar problem, and followers who do this also tend to tweak my lower back. You should be able to get (lead?) them out into open embrace where they are totally vertical on - and responsible for - their own axis - for the two or three remaining songs of the tanda.
I also don't think it would be unreasonable for you to simply/gently explain that you have a shoulder injury, and "would it be okay to adjust our embrace?"... In between songs of course... If you are trying to dance more close embrace/milonguero, then this obviously becomes more of a problem/issue. Unfortunately, I have had to resort to making a mental note of followers who do this at a milonga, and no longer inviting them to dance... _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
