    As a fat follower, what do I need to do to make sure I dance lighter?

    Thanks, you are right. I worded it wrongly. It's too light leading that is confusing, because most of the time it is hesitant. My teacher leads firmly, even though he is slight.

    As a fat follower, what do I need to do to make sure I dance lighter?

    I wouldn't say I prefer leaders of any specific shape or size. The only thing I don't like is a feather-light leader, which can of course be a person of any size. But if the leader is physically very slight, the contact surface is smaller when dancing close embrace. So even more need of a firm...

    As a fat follower, what do I need to do to make sure I dance lighter?

    Thanks so much everyone, there is so much encouragement and good advice on here. I see that my size matters less than I thought, but I need to put in the work.

    Desperately for a Tango in Buenos Aires blog that was linked to in this forum... I can't find it and it's driving me nuts!

    The blog was about a middle aged woman from London that travelled to BA to learn Tango. I loved her way of writing, it was a bit of Tango and Milongas, spicy love affairs, and daily life such as roommates and public transport and a tight budget. It made me feel like I was there. It was written...
