[Tango-L] Ladies Leading

[Trini y Sean (PATangoS)]

So if tango is supposed to be about the emotional
connection which can only be felt between partners, can
somebody tell me why people are looking for videos to
measure this quality?

The man-woman thing can also be taken too far in these
discussions.  I mean, that's like saying that every man
wants to sleep with every woman he ever dances with, even
if that's his mother, sister, or daughter.  Somebody want
to ask Copes if he dances sensually with his daughter? 
Ewwww.  C'mon.
