[Tango-L] Embrace

[Deby Novitz]

The embrace you are referring to with the left arm hanging down was 
danced here for the last 2 years.  It is now on the way out. You don't 
see it that much. The "new" embrace trend is to wrap the left arm around 
the shoulders.  (How do I explain this?)  The other is to do a modified 
version where the left hand rests behind the right arm and under the 
shoulder.

Both embraces demand you be balanced, on your own axis, and with good 
posture.  Without these 3 things, with the first embrace you will hang 
on the guy, be heavy, and throw him off.  With the second, you will not 
be able to dance.  You will wobble because you cannot do this without 
having balance.  There is no way to use the man for your support. (Or 
him you for that matter)  The second posture is excellent to use when 
the man is much taller.
