[Tango-L] Do I have to invent every step of the dance, even her's ???

What stood out to me in the earlier posting was a few comments I've strung 
together to read:
"Here is an example that I, actually, don't like, ... advanced followers 
who ... when I lead a boleo, for example, pretty much, take over the 
dance.  No room for conversation. I could eat a sandwich while waiting for 
them to finish."

As I read these comments and the posting that responded to my comments, 
the writer wants the woman's contribution limited to exchanges within a 
framework that he defines.  Going as far as actually yielding the lead, 
particularly if it seems involuntary, would go beyond his comfort zone.

Otherwise, I would agree that Tango for Her's earlier posting conveyed 
some information about the space in which a woman has the opportunity to 
create her own movements within tango, but the only example provided was 
one in which the woman hijacked the lead, which Tango for Her doesn't 
prefer.

In the newer posting:
>There are a lot of little conversations
>that go on that are, more or less, led
>by my followers.  And, I LOVE them!

If the posting is to be about "... every woman is inventing right back at 
you " and the spaces in which the woman has the opportunity to create her 
own movements (and dare we say steps), let's hear about these little 
conversations... and how the woman is inventing or at least free to 
invent.

With best regards,
