Well, I guess that my original post didn't explain the setting enough.
The woman was a friend who had never danced tango. We were listening
to non-tango ballads but danceable as a slow tango. I offered to give her
an experience of the dance. She began moving side to side as many
first time tango dancers do. I tried to show that it was not salsa that
we were dancing. That it was a couple dance that needed a follower
and that it was both intimate and formal in an elegant way.
..the comment about 'no will of your own' was half in humor..
She seemed to find it interesting.. Thanks for the last line where
you give the experience the benefit of the doubt, because you weren't there.
I have alread decided (thanks to some lower back muscles)
that In the future,
not to dance tango with women who either haven't mastered their own
balance or who haven't danced tango before.
