[Tango-L] Heads up

[Michael]

David:
I can't give any positive reason but an explanation. This is prevalent when the man is much taller than the woman and he compensates for the height difference, trying for cheek-to-cheek. Some men bend their knees more than usual and dance like Quasimodo. (I hope the spelling is correct.)

  I think most would agree that tango is about  balance, axis, posture and walking in a natural manner.
  So here is my  question, how can you dance with balance, on axis and with good posture if your  head is looking down at the floor? The head is very heavy about 10 - 12 pounds  and I see many dancers even those claiming to be teachers dancing looking down  at the floor? And what in  the world are you looking for? Is this why you are always bumping into others?  Are you such a bad leader you need to look down to see where the follower’s feet  are?  Help me out here if you dance this way give me one positive reason why.
  Thanks
  David
