[Tango-L] how to lead (was 'weight change')

In the way I dance tango, weight shifting per se is not a lead at all.

I lead the follower by moving her body axis.

As long as I don't move her axis, I can do all kind of steps with my
feet: shift weight, do grapevine, whatever, and my partner will not
step (for example, independent shift of weight at 1 min 40 sec and at
4 min 10 sec in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MesNethpYxA
).

Your dance style might differ. And its OK.
