[Tango-L] Who's leading?

[fortune elkins]

As a total newbie, who has been taking classes for about 3 weeks, let 
me say that I personally benefit from a lead who knows who he is, 
where he wants to go, isn't afraid to be Tango Man and give a clear 
lead. I personally find I dance much better when I can zone out, 
listen to the music, close my eyes, and just focus on the leading 
signals.

But that requires the lead to LEAD ME. HE HAS GOT TO DRIVE. Then the 
dance looks like tango and not say, jitterbug. Thank god tango seems a 
refuge from political correctness.

This is my first post, but I am equipped for the inevitable flames 
that will come my way. (grin) All I can say is, if any patient guy 
with a clear assertive lead is around, that's the one I hope to dance 
with!
