[Tango-L] Tall Tango Dancers.

['Mash]

Afternoon, 

I just want to know if there are any tall Tango leaders here on the list?

The reason I ask is that I am almost 6ft5 and would appreciate hearing from anyone else who has had experiance with height in Tango. The main things I have come across are in regards to my posture. I am really trying to be bold enough to flex up and not to shorten for the other person. My axis is still an ongoing experiment, and it currently a work in progress to what degree I should be bending my knees and whether this will lessen with better balance and strength gains. Also I am chopping an inch off everystep I take and really have to make this a habit. What was interesting last week was when I was learning Cucharita(s), I discoverd that I am unable to bend my knee and pull up as it is normally done as there really is not enough space. For me it will always be more movement in the ankle and foot then the knee and leg. 

I have heard the name Alex Krebs mentioned who appears to be about my height and am currently looking around for articles he has written. 

Mainly I am asking for advice and guidence for somone of my height. Also any feedback from the ladies on the list would be very much appreciated. What are the dos and don'ts you have come across when dancing with tall leaders, what could they have done better?
 
If you have any thoughts, please let me know.

Thanks
