[Tango-L] variable embrace

[Igor Polk]

Manuel:
"Try sometimes taking hands with another person and turning circles around
one another. You'll see how easy it is if you lean away from each other. If
you lean towards each other, it's impossible to do."

Igor:
"I am not quite sure what you mean. If you mean Molinete, giro, it is
possible to do. I do it every milonga with a variety of partners."

Manuel:
"However, no gancho, barrida or back sacada can be done during a close,
apilado position."

Igor:
Gancho is one of the easiest elements for close embrace. Barriada - no
problem. Back sacada - I do not know. I do not know how to make back sacadas
in any embrace.

Manuel, 
Close embrace requires different technique. And it works fine !

Manuel:
"Things like sacadas, barridas, ganchos and boleos are movements that
originate from places in the turn (molinete, giro, etc.). All these moves
are generated from changes of direction in the turn."

That is only a very special, partial view on the thighs. That is the Naveira
theory. Of course, with this approach you will not be able to make a gancho
in tight apilado.

You guys, Tango Nuevo supporters and followers, do not even assume that
there are other ways of doing things !
Open your eyes !
