[Tango-L] Nuevo lead and follow and repressed teaching

[Jack Dylan]

Oh yeah, I recognise that. I know some intermediate guys that teach their 
own partner and they actually look quite good together. The problem comes 
when the girl tries to dance with somebody else and she has no idea what 
the man wants her to do because she can't recognise a 'familiar pattern'. 
Another problem is groups who learn together at the same classes and 
dance together a lot. They have problems when they mix with other groups. 
Oh, are we talking Nuevo again? :-)
But, seriously, I've actually read a couple of jokers on this list [Chris and 
another I forget] who seen to advocate no classes for ladies. Are they 
serious or did I mis-read their meaning?
