[Tango-L] tall men in close embrace

[Crrtango@aol.com]

Even with all the suggestions on adjusting the body to adapt to smaller or 
taller people, sometimes the reality is that the difference is too great.   I am 
6 ft. tall and can dance with most followers, but there are some women who 
are too short to comfortably dance close embrace with.   It has nothing to do 
with their dancing, which can be wonderful, or liking or disliking them for 
personal reasons.   A couple shares a mutual axis and if there is too much 
difference between the two, it will become lop-sided and out of balance, not to 
mention figuring out where to put your hands and arms.   We all encounter ideal 
partners once in a while who feel perfect for us...but by the same token, no 
amount of adjustment can compensate if the disparity is too great. I think it is 
better to accept that than try to overcompensate. The most important thing is 
to maintain your posture and correct form. I have been in the opposite position 
also with very tall women, but again, even if their head is on top of mine, 
we will dance better if we both maintain our posture. 

Cheers, 
Charles
