[Tango-L] Strong Lead - resistance effect

[steve pastor]

"if you (the leader) make a sharp step back, the connection would break, 
  the connection would break, provided you do not hold her"
   
  Thus, we hope that the women learn to feel us moving backwards, and know 
  that we expect them to step forward as vigorously as we step forward.

Yes, there must be something else - if you (the leader) make a sharp step 
back, the connection would break, provided you do not hold her. The leaning 
can help, but only to a certain limit. So much for not having to pull the 
lady. Of course, like everything else in tango it is not some ugly pulling, 
it is actually a more complicated and precisely executed movement, but 
still, if you don't hold her, the connection will break, or become loose at 
least.
