Re: [TANGO-L] Neverending Ochos

[LGMoseley @AOL.COM]

You don't need a "death grip". You just need to lift the lady slightly, so
that she is on the balls of her feet. From that position it is hard for the lady
to walk - and Ochos are just another form of walking. Of course, you lift her
with your frame, not with your arms.

I agree that ladies who are what we call "Ocho machines" are initially
disconcerting. However, one soon gets used to encouraging them to follow (or
encouraging them to lead when that is what the man intends). I thought that the
standard mantra was "The man indicates - the lady leads - the man follows".
