The gingerbread man was walking down the street one day when he saw the gingerbread woman. It had been so long since he had last seen her that he went over and gave her a great big hug. When the hug ended, however, they realised that they had a problem. In the warmth of their embrace their jelly-tot hearts had melted and had stuck to each other. They were truly locked in their embrace.
So rather than just stand there in the street they decided to walk. After a bit the Gingerbread man found that, while not the easiest thing in the world, it was enjoyable. He also found that if he twisted his torso that the Gingerbread woman had to twist her torso in sympathy. He found that in doing so he could play with the direction of her hips. That the steps she took needn’t all be backwards.
And he found that the steps he led tugged at their jelly-tot hearts… and that she liked it.
Kudos to Simba Tango for part of the inspiration.
Thanks
Do you think they were inspired by the tones from the gingerbread double-A through the window?
Awwww.
I think that would work for explaining how to follow. Most people don’t bother explaining that at all.
…and if you understand following, you understand leading better.
Sweeeeeet!
Sorry, could’t resist that
A very good analogy and one that tangueros with some experience will really appreciate.
