Sherri said; Constantly you ask a question about leading and then you ignore what women have to say about leading, what are you looking for? Take lots of private lessons, take lots of classes, and talk to women to learn what you need to do to make it better ....sherrie
Sherri I'm sure lot’s of women have opinions about leading however in most cases women don't lead in tango. If a man were to give you his opinion about what style tango shoe you should be wearing and how high the heel should be would you take him seriously? I doubt it. My wife said maybe men are too proud to take advice from a woman and too stupid to recognize it. Could that be the problem????? I believe as leaders and followers we have very distinct roles in tango and it’s been broken down to the umpteen degree but the simple truth is men lead and women follow. If you dance with a skilled leader you close your eyes and enjoy the ride with no worries about what’s next and no need to prepare for anything. With this leader you would never dream of giving him advice so why would you subject a man who is not so skilled to your opinions? My wife is right because I won't take leading advice from women unless I'm paying for a lesson in order to get the advice I need from a professional. Cheers David I dance with the Argentines because my wife is one. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
