[Tango-L] Right hand lead?

[Sergey Kazachenko]

I am visiting San Francisco and got to Gabriel Missé's (

He was saying that leading with the chest is a later invention and
that old milongeros used the right hand lead.
If you press the right palm down, that's a signal for the lady to
switch her weight to her right. If you press the right elbow down,
that's a signal to switch the lady's weight to her left. I tried it
and it seems to work!
Anybody else familiar with this?
