[Tango-L] any advice for bad shoulders?

[Keith]

Thanks Carol that's what I always say if a new partner pushes too hard. Often
the girl is quite relieved and says that someone told her to do that. I've now 
identified an individual in our Tango community who is telling girls to do this. 
But he's not a teacher and he's not one of my students so I don't see what I can 
do about it. Anybody have any ideas?
