Maybe because of it people have very different expectations and fears... and so the stories told at the end of the tanda diverge so much...

Been too used to having that happen disastrously with shorter men that even if a guy my height tries that, I freeze. Last time I apologized for that, the guy said he didn't notice anything. Maybe i only froze in my head? i think it's going to take a while to learn to relax for that move - last piece of the mind game I need to get off the board.

Once in a while I catch myself saying 'sorry'" still... but for the most part I try to remember that it's just a dance. I think I saw you last night at the milonga on the eastside...sitting at a table? I opened one eye at one point while I was dancing to see if it was you, but didn't get a chance to go over and say hi and ask if it was you. :-) Elizabeth - I know what you mean - I used to apologize so much, and what for?

If a lead does not mean to lead something, but it is still musical, and I follow it, then why should anyone feel apologetic? Maybe his body is responding outside of his logic. For follows too: I used to say, first off, that I was nervous or would sort of apologize upfront about some aspect of myself or my dance. No More! Guess what..all of the sudden I feel better about it, and the dance benefits. Sometimes it seems the less talk the better! Tina You bring up a good subject here.
