[Tango-L] Forward Step By Lady

[Jack Dylan]

The concept of the man leading with his torso and following with his foot 
has been taught by every teacher I've had and has been repeated numerous 
times on Tango-L and elsewhere. Often the comment is attributed to Gavito 
and the idea than 'man leads and man follows' has become a bedrock of 
Tango instruction.

Now, Dianne, are you telling us that it's all due to a mis-interpretation of 
what Gavito was actually saying? That's interesting and could shatter one 
of the greatest quotes in Tango ;-)

Btw, to avoid possible confusion, when I say "following with his foot" - that 
could equally be 'stepping with the lady', But, for that to happen, the man 
must still lead first, before the step is taken.
