[Tango-L] Strong Lead - resistance effect

[steve pastor]

I love the "lets dance without any arms" challenge.
  Sometimes, when someone has "offered a comment" on my lead, 
  I will ask them if they would like to try dancing without the arms.
  Often, they decline. (This is (of course) at a practica.)

  Every one that denies the need for a pull, must try leading without the 
right hand - then we'll talk again. And I don't mean pulling with a hand . . 
.I mean the slight pull to keep the points of contact engaged in some 
situations, when the inertia tries to separate the partners, but you people 
are so quick in underestimating others.
