Re: female leaders

[astrid <astrid @RUBY.PLALA.OR.JP>]

Ingrid,
you know that I have even asked you to dance with me instead of a young
handsome guy who I usually like a lot, so you already know where I stand in
regard to your leading skills.
I would like to let you and everyone else know, that in the Fabian Salas
workshop in Tokyo last weekend there very four women too many. Still
everybody got to dance, thanks to the generous cooperation of two ladies who
had meanwhile learned how to lead too. On the 3rd day there were 7 women too
many. One of my friends asked the organiser: "As what did I apply today ? As
a leader again, or as a follower ?" "As a leader", he replied and smiled. I
was so glad to hear that, and to know she would help us out again. And
actually, these women had gotten so good both ways, that I felt, it can be
more fun to dance with skillful female leader, than with a poor male leader.
(For me this is not a matter of course, it is a new realisation after I met
Ingrid at a milonga.)
