Re: [TANGO-L] V frame.

Manuel:

The parallel, chest-to-chest system may be somewhat difficult for you at
first, but not for me nor for a lot of other people. In Washington, I see
very few couples dancing in a "V."

Next, it's NOT wrong to say the man is leaning forward on the balls of his
feet. The leader is falling forward because he has no balance. I used to
lose my balance. I stood pigeon toed (toes facing inward) so I wasn't
grounded. I became grounded once I learned to point my feet slightly
outwards. Now I have balance. Yes, it feels like you're falling foward,
but then your foot moves forward under your body to catch yourself so you
don't fall. The woman is following the upper body unless the man is
thrusting his arms forward to lead the woman.
