[Tango-L] Creating a strong connection

[Virginia Nicholson]

Hi there,

This is my first posting to the tango L-list so be nice!

I have a question...I'm a follower and I've been dancing for about two
years. I've been practicing with a steady partner, but I still go to
milongas and dance with other people, so I can tell that my partner
and I lack the deep connection that I sometimes experience with my
favorite leaders, that sense of a silent conversation. My partner has
good balance and posture and has been dancing for a long time, though
mostly in open embrace...now we're trying a mix of open and close. I'm
not sure what's wrong. It's good - just not great. Do any of you
leaders have any advice? or suggestions for how a to strengthen the
connection? I apologize for covering what must be well-worn ground.

Best, VSN
