[Tango-L] connection

Ed....I can understand your dilemma, it must be nerve wracking for the lead to feel he has to be in constant motion...from the follow's point of view....taking a pause between steps in the form of an amague or long graceful walks is far better than being in constant motion, also the pause, while you prepare yourself for the next step, allows the follow to adorn and embellish...always a wonderful moment...and i am of the philososphy of keeping it simple, listing to the music for inspiration and not feeling like the leads are machines that have to keep cranking out steps in order to satisfy the follow..a follow who does not appreciate elegant, connected simplicity and musical interpretation  probably is not worth worrying about.  sherrie
