Thank you so much. I think we are getting back to a very old concept "it takes two to tango". Perhaps it's musicality of the Leader as well as the chemistry of the couple overall that makes each of the dancers to stand out individually as well as a couple. Somehow I didn't think about it.

Hi guys, If you've watched a tonne of videos over the last decade with famous couples dancing traditional Argentine Tango, who was the most memorable Follower for you and why? Sometimes I watch very famous people and I kind of understand with my brain that the follower's technique and...

Apologies if I am too direct but I do not like men with long beards. I never accept invite from a bearded man despite of his level of dancing. But I am in minority, so you should be fine.

I have read your article but still cannot see the clear reason why you would choose a festival over local Milongas? Can you elaborate a little bit more on this, please? Thank you.

Wow. This is quite interesting. I though men would prefer a mystery. The less personal the better. I actually more enjoy dancing with people I hardly know. We all differ. But I am in general a very private and reserved person. Noted. Perhaps I need to put a bit more effort in social aspect of my...

Hi guys, out of curiosity, do you have any classification for the followers? As you know, I am new to Tango and I am trying to understand Tango dynamics on different levels. At the last several Milongas I took time to seat quietly and observe people dancing. Majority of them look the same to...

Thank you! I was genuinely puzzled on why sometimes men lock eyes with me but do not cabeceo. I am like - please node - but after a while they or me turn the head other way. OK. Now I'll try to be more courageous and if man is really looking at me I'll try to do a mirada. Scary, but heck, why...

We all have our prefered style of dancing - the way we enjoy moving the most, feel the best... But I have to admit that I am grateful to be born into this world as a Follower. I truly enjoy majority of the time the game of sensing my partner - his way of leading, his musicality. It's like tring...

Thank you. I understand your motives now. :)

I am a bit disheartened by your comment. So, as a Leader you can change your leading style and size of the steps based on the Milonga, yet you have no trust in young Followers to adjust their way of dancing, right? You sound as though we, Followers, are so dumb and can dance only one way or...

Hi guys. Thank you so much for all your invaluable advices. I have been going to different Milongas now for a month or so and I started feeling more comfortable. I am asked to dance more and more regularly and I feel OK now (to a certain degree) being sitting during a tanda or two on my own...

No. No. Do not worry. I understand the difference very well between English Tango (WDC), International Tango (WDSF), Ballroom AT and Argentine Tango as it is danced at Milongas. I agree, they are very different styles of dancing.

Wow! Thank you so much, guys, for all your recommendations. I am definitely miles apart from my mobile phone. Our Milongas have dim lightening. Anyone who will try to turn their phone on will probably receive a massive disapproval from the local crowd :) @Tango Distance brilliant...

Thanks a lot @opendoor for your piece of advice. I used to go very often to Salsa or Ballroom social events purely for dancing purposes. I am quite introverted and do not like small talks, so I am quite satisfied with "just dancing" and "no strings attached" situation, but apparently AT...

From my experience - a Leader shouldn't signal you the amount of dissociation. He just shows you direction and his intention and then it is up to you to determine how much body torsion you'd like to put into execution. If music permits and leader doesn't urge me to move quickly through steps I...
