[Tango-L] Ladies Leading

[Keith]

Nina,

I completely agree and it's why I always use the terms 'man's role' 
and lady's role', rather than leader and follower. I'm sure there 
can be no logical reason why a lady can't lead just as well as a 
man, but there are plenty of reasons why a lady can't effectively 
take the man's role. And the main one is .... she's not a man! :-). 

For me, the greatest pleasure in Tango is embracing the lady and 
she embracing me. Take that away and I'd might as well just stick 
to Ballroom. 

Btw, I know plenty of ladies who can do an excellent job dancing as 
lead in Ballroom. In fact, it's so popular that it's often a separate event 
in competitions. In Ballroom, feelings don't get in the way :-).

Keith, HK
