[Tango-L] Tango-L (Places) or Women Leading

[Caroline Polack]

Three weeks ago, I went to a Milonga hosted by my tango school. There, I 
watched one of my teachers, a woman, lead her male partner through a tanda. 
They looked like they were having a fabulous time but it wasn't just that. 
It was so apparent from watching them that they were completely on the same 
wave-length, as if they understood each other utterly and completely. In 
fact, for the rest of the night, they would switch roles easily, as if they 
didn't even notice they had done that but always they danced together in 
close embrace and so so well. I was completely fascinated with them - it's a 
rare occasion indeed to see such an intense connection. They really looked 
like they were in another world, another reality apart from the rest of us.

So, as for this whole debate on gender roles in Tango, I really couldn't 
care less. All I know is what I saw that night - and wish I too could 
experience that.
