I have to agree with Igorregarding leaning and hanging.

Dancing with leaders that are considered experts is not fun when they
are just going through the motions.
I have been dancing for sometime now and I have to say that my best
dances are when there is a firm connection.And the whole body frame is
included or positioned in agreement. (NON-VERBAL) of course.
My belief is that there is a contract when the leader gives the hand to
the follower and the way the follower sets the hand is the agreement and
in addtion a beginning of a crescendo of a 91/2 minute relationship

Usually a leader will give non-verbal permission as to what he needs to
dance and the follower agrees or not with the body.
Frame does not matter to me,but agreements to have a great time do.

And I think Igor is very clear to what he needs from a partner to have
both of them enjoy the experience.
He is one of the most considerate leaders I have danced with and
continues to try new things.

Thanks Igor.
