Excellent point - it was not at all an attempt to "control" the girl's legs.

Contrast that with the type of "leading with hands" being discussed:

 Then you place your hand on her back and explain to the beginner
 tango dancers that the right part of her back controls her Rt. leg and
 that the Lt. part of her body controls her Lt. one. Then you proceed
 to how the correct lead of a front ocho. You touch the lady's rt. side
 of her back with the fingers of your right hand [etc. etc.]
