[Tango-L] hip movement

[Jay Rabe]

a comment and a question...
 
comment: one difficulty that occurs when women move their hips during a weight change is that the hip movement absorbs the change in the position of her center of mass, that is, her torso doesn't move, with the result that her leader may not realize she's changed her weight. This is clearly a bad thing. Conversely, in order for a leader to change his weight "transparently" or "secretly" without the woman knowing it and following with her own weight change (eg when he wants to switch between cross and parallel), he must keep his torso stationary, which then requires that he move his hips slightly to absorb the change in his center of mass.
 
question: what do you say about someone like Geraldine Rodriguez, who has almost made a trademark of her hip movement? Is she not dancing good tango?
