I'm about 100 to 500 years behind you, style-wise, but it's soooo great to have a partner who can follow where you lead. It's also nice to have someone who can cover up your mistakes... I can't decide where Cpod fits in with my current tango with Chinese. Maybe it's the firm, yet flexible frame made by our arms as we whirl around the floor. Maybe it's the music. It's not the fabric that's the only thing between us. As someone who does three dance classes a week, I know what you mean.

My teacher is a big fan of it and they're trying to convince me to learn. I keep telling them, "One thing at a time." :-) It's a lot of fun, though. Thanks for commenting, Bobbie, and Happy New Year!

I've been learning to tango and, as a woman, it's all about learning to follow exactly what your partner wants to do but, on the way, being able to add some fiddly bits of your own. It's exciting and scary all at the same time. Yet, when there aren't enough men to make up couples, it's also good to lead sometimes too because it helps you figure out what to do when you go back to following. Hi Frank
