The most beautiful thing about tango is probably the fact that we care more about our partner feeling good and happy than about us looking good.. isn't it??
Now, how to do that, especially in close embrace?
When we're moving together, especially in close embrace, it's easy to put just a little bit too much pressure on our partner, and make them feel uncomfortable. A strain on the shoulders, on the lower back...
Enters Dancing With The Ray of Light
It's a tip I've been using for years to make sure I'm offering a comfortable embrace to my partners. It requires a bit of imagination (but we are dancers, so we have a lot of imagination) but it's super easy. It has helped me a lot and I hope it helps you too.

Muy buen consejo. Esas pequeñas cosas marcan la diferencia . Son sencillas y fáciles de aplicar, corrigen errores y generan un gran resultado. Ojalá se explicara a todos cuando empezamos.

Ann, what is your thought about the beam of light being slightly up, if I raise my chest and elongate as many teachers propose? You spoke of keeping it level to the floor and it being a good cue if my body position shifts downward,..likely the leader experiences more weight in the embrace.

Hi again Anne, 2nd question here (more for leaders): how should I manage the height difference to keep a confortable embrace for both of us? I sometimes happen to dance with someone much taller or much smaller than me, and it's not straightforward. Posture is hard to maintain and I often feel a "loss of connexion" happening.
