Mash: 

"allow us to lead": OK: "responsibility for direction": OK; "decisions"; OK. All nice and humble. 
But then we have ..."lift you up" and "free you so that you can ...". With all due rspect Mash, 
that doesn't sound very humble. How do you think it sounds to the ladies on this list who may 
be far better dancers than you with many more years of experience. And you're going to lift 
them up and free them. What is is it about Tango that makes regular, normal guys suddenly 
feel like mini-gods?

IMHO there is only one way to think about Tango and that is as a 100% equal partnership. 
And there's nothing equal about a musician and his Strad. At the end of of the day, the 
musician gets the glory and adulation while the Strad goes back into its box until needed 
again. Is that how we think of our partners?

 Allow us men, humbly to think out aloud and allow us the poetic license to describe the moments with you.
