Re: [TANGO-L] Randy Does Rio, Part 5 - the greatest secret of molinete

I agree... you have no quarrel with me... both partners have to maintain
their axises otherwise they'd upset each other's balance.

I might add that men MUST know the molinete the same way women do. I've come
to realize that some men out there have the weird notion that the molinete
is only for women. They couldn't be more mistaken!

I disagree with you, Igor.  The molinete is one of the most difficult steps
for a woman to execute as she has to rotate exactly around her partner
without
pushing or pulling him off his axis.  The most critical portion of the
molinete is the backstep and few women can do that step correctly without
lots of
practice.  Unfortunately, most teachers do not emphasize this to their
female
students

I can assure you, Randy,
that there is no woman who can not dance molinete.
There are only men who do not know how to lead it.

Why women are getting worse at most lessons?
Because they are trying to make the steps themselves, while they should only
listen to a good lead, that is all. What they can do if there is no one?

And if they are making the steps themselves, men should follow them.
But our men are not able to follow, they must lead!
That is why everybody at those lessons look like struggling bears.
