Superinformative! Can you make one on height differences and adjustment in posture (both open an close embrace)? And include height difference in both directions for the tall ladies out there?
@@imsotango I hadn't! Very informative Thank you! I see many much shorter leaders that want to dance in close embrace with a tall follower, which is often really uncomfortable, difficult on the followers back for example (and they don't see obstacles as well). Interesting to see you saying: just don't do it, dance open.
another difference is the level of tension that both can register about the other. In open embrace is barely noticeable. In close embrace one can feel the tension, the breathing, the heart. ... so relax, breathe, relax!
I wish I had known this many moons ago when switching from mostly open embrace (which was never how I wanted to dance tango) to close embrace …plus Milonguero Style tango. It was a lot of trial and error on myself and my partner’s part. 😅
