I have never seen Tete changing roles within the dance. What Tete *will *occasionally do (and what I suspect you were witnessing) is change the arm positions. With him, everything comes from the chest - *his*chest. The position of his arms is irrelevant - he can have his right arm or his left across the lady's back - it doesn't matter, as it in no way affects the lead. abrazos -- Yours in dance dementia, Niki ( http://tangotrails.blogspot.com ) _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
