'Internalise the movement' and 'think thoroughly' are not a solution. They 
are a big part of the problem. 

What makes a tango movement work is that you share it completely with your 
partner - you externalise rather than internalise it. And this can't be 
done by thinking, thoroughly or otherwise, because thought doesn't 
communicate across the embrace. The only thing that does is feeling. 
Kinaesthetic feeling.

Not telepathy. Telempathy.
