[Tango-L] To lead or not to lead

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

Thanks, Nancy, for addressing what actually happens.  It's
nice to know that the men will adjust.  I had gotten the
impression that they wouldn't or that they'd think "those
foreigners can't dance!" or something like that.

Any other observations along those lines from anyone else?
