[Tango-L] Partner choices

[Derik Rawson]

Dear Ben:

The reason these woman won't dance with you is because
they all are usually doing the simple "close embrace
all the time" tango with these poor women victims and
it is very easy to lead.  Also, these women have not
really bothered to learn how to to follow a man
because they have been wasting all their time trying
to learn how to lead.  These women neither lead or
follow very well, because they lack overall dance
experience.
