[Tango-L] Did you wow your partner?

[Michael]

Hello Sharon:
My BA tango tour guide, Janis, told me that "the embrace reveals everything." Does your leader embrace or suffocate you? Does your leader hold you like a precious vase or like a shopping bag?

I compliment good dancers where good is defined as ease of movement and musicality, NOT how many figures she knows. The surprised look on their faces sends the unmistakable message they don't get many compliments. A man has to appreciate a woman's skill level before he can be "WOWED."

  I couldn't make head nor tails of Mario's post, but Michael's question is something I've been thinking about for awhile, in that I'm not sure how I feel to my partner.

  I don't get many compliments on my following, although recently I've gotten a few comments that I'm dancing much smoother than I used to. Plus in the past few weeks, with a few crucial privates, I'm undergoing something of a seachange in my following, and am more often feeling really solid in my dancing.  I think that translates to a good
  feeling for my leader, but I don't know for sure.

  So: can you tell how you feel to your partner?
