[Tango-L] the fear of close embrace

[meaning of life]

have you all ever considered that some people enjoy dancing a more open embrace? enjoy seeing each others faces as they dance? enjoy sliding their bodies past each other? enjoy the larger figures? enjoy the more dramatic dance permited by a more open embrace? enjoy the athletiscm that a more open embrace permits, even encourages?
 
have you ever considered that starting slowly and allowing a more open embrace,  larger figures and a more dramatic dance might improve your recruitment and retention? especially among younger dancers?
 
have you ever considered that some people feel mauled and threatened (especially good looking females) by the pack of wolves that descend on them DEMANDING close embrace dances and belittling their hesitation to have their "personal boundries" invaided by "stinky old men"? and this destroys your retention, especially among younger females?
 
i'm just asking. who is it that has the issues?
