Thanks for the creation of this wonderful tutorial on this truly important topic. If a follower could chose, he/she would prefer a nice close embrace plus caminata over everything else. If a leader gets told after the Tanda that the follower enjoyed the embrace, you ticked the box. We'll done Helmut and Iris.

Thanks Florian! To Caminatas and Close Embrace!!
