[Tango-L] Strong Lead - resistance effect

[Krasimir Stoyanov]

I agree with Igor, but what is resistance?
Should the follower forcefully resist? Or it is just the inertial 
resistance, according to the physics?

I am convinced it is the inertia only, plus the desired constant force, 
created from the slight leaning that is always recommended - but this is not 
resistance by will. The follower is not resisting the movement, but by 
simply walking correctly, it may feel like resistance, but it's mainly 
inertial, and this helps keeping the good connection necessary.

And yes, slight leaning is desired even in open embrace, and this is not 
limiting factor, it's a freeing one.
