[Tango-L] Three cheers for the tango inquisition

[Jay Rabe]

As a recent thread attested, what was true in the early days of tango in BsAs, and is still true today, is that lots of men tango dancers are learning to follow, ie. learning "women's" technique. A recent segment of Alex Krebs' weekly men's practica here in Portland was focused completely on women's technique. 
 
In addition, many men on this list are teachers, which includes teaching women. 
 
Regardless that most men's experience base in "follower's" technique is much less extensive than that of most women, I think it's entirely appropriate for men to discuss women's technique and the problems of learning same. 
 
That said, I agree it's better when we come off as less than absolute experts ...
