On the other hand.....if Trini accepts a dance with
big, off-balance guy and compensates for his lack of
skills,  then he goes bouncing off the dancefloor,
very proud of the fact that he danced so beautifully
with "the best follower" in the room and it is the
rest of us who are bad followers.  What is his
incentive to get better?  Sorry, but we have too many
of those guys on the dance floors and on Tango-L
already.  I can agree to be ' more grounded' as long
as it is no different than how I would dance with a
good leader.  If he is pushing and pulling, I take my
hand  away.  He understands that.  Even the rankest
beginner should not be pulling me off axis.  If he is
off beat, I can dance to the beat  until he gets it. 
If he is truly awful, I can suggest we sit down and
watch the dancers.  

Several folks have posted here recently about how
unforgiving the portenas are about dancing with
tourists.  No, they are not.  However, they will not
dance with a bad dancer out of charity....unless, of
course, they are bad followers - and there are plenty
of those in Buenos Aires, too.  Some of those couples
even enter the Campeonato Mundial.
