[Tango-L] How to initiate lean

[Michael]

Igor:
You wrote "when she can not make a forward step." But you didn't write how to stop her from making a forward step. My body is moving but I don't want her to step. The only way I can move without the woman moving is to tell her "don't step." That's why I have to give her a slight lift. I don't see how your method tells the woman "don't step."

Jack, Michael,

No "suspension", or "lift" is needed.
You go into lean when she can not make a forward step. Like when she made a
step, and the back leg is still behind, you initiate the lean.
