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

[Derik Rawson]

Dear Caroline:

You are right, BUT you are talking about a couple who
know each other well.  They would have a good
relationship no matter what they were doing. It is
easy to dance with same person all the time, or with
friends whose steps you have memorized. You "cover up"
each others mistakes.

A good musician in a symphony can play well in ANY
symphony, not just one.  A good tango dancer can dance
with anyone.
