On the question of what's the minimum amount of hand pressure necessary (if
any) to lead a certain step:
Try leading the step without an embrace, that is, with no arm/hand/chest
contact. You'll quickly see where a gentle pressure with the hand can be
especially helpful, with of course the caveat that it must be gentle enough to
not be uncomfortable. I think check steps are a better example than the
parada/pasada. Check steps are almost impossible to lead quickly in open
embrace without some slight "braking" pressure with the hand.
