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

Sorry, Igor. I don't agree with you. Even a correctly lead molinete doesn't
guarantee a woman will execute it correctly. If a woman doesn't finish her
pivot, she won't move around the man. She will move away from the center of
the circle. It's not the back step that's so difficult. It's the PIVOT
before the back step that is so difficult. It takes a long time for a woman
to understand what it takes to finish the pivot. She must be relaxed and
have flexibility in the waist so that she can pivot without turning her
chest away from the man. It's not so great for a woman to pivot and on each
step her chest is facing a different direction.
