Usually found with heretic leaders who primarily dance ballroom, this embrace is shaped like an upright Y and is notable for the extreme amounts of pressure put on the follower's lower back and the constant rigidity of the dance frame. Meant to simulate gliding, this embrace attempts to encourage large steps, while simultaneously making them next to impossible in most direction because of the lack of room between the partners' thighs. Like in the Lanzar, the follower does tend to develope arm muscles, as well as a habit of leading herself, as she is expected to step without receiving any sort of signal from the leader's core.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28824207.post-67225172000658942972007-05-04T05:54:00.000-04:002007-05-04T05:54:00.000-04:00Regardless of how physically the embrace is made i...Regardless of how physically the embrace is made it is the feeling that we transmit and reciprocate that makes the actual difference. <BR/><BR/>Some embraces are calm, others are nervous, some are passionate and warm, and the same physical hold from another person may not give us enjoyment; it may feel unwelcome and intrusive. It is whom we hold that often determines how we hold them and I feel the embrace settles into its naturally expected form by the couple once the first few steps are taken.<BR/><BR/>What I personally enjoy most is the feeling of what you refer as to <B>"Exquisito"</B> however I would like to add that there are many other parts in the world where this embrace exists and it does not have to be hoped and searched for in BsAs alone. <BR/><BR/>Travelling from a "V" to an "A" may be a journey of many embraces but it is certainly worth the destination when we reach it.<BR/><BR/>I loved your taxonomy, thank you!<BR/><BR/>MilongaCat.24tangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160141735905558386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28824207.post-77977119069592361632007-05-03T19:54:00.000-04:002007-05-03T19:54:00.000-04:00You may wanna specify that's it's more of an upsid...You may wanna specify that's it's more of an upside-down 'V', lest beginners start leaning away from each other to form a real 'V'... ;-)<BR/><BR/>Great job with the descriptions!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28824207.post-1049310054986346262007-05-03T10:41:00.000-04:002007-05-03T10:41:00.000-04:00There is one more embrace that I call the Vise - w...There is one more embrace that I call the Vise - which is when the man squeezes your ribcage till you are half-smothered while grinding his crotch up against yours, thereby rendering all steps except for back steps impossible to perform. It could also be known as the Turista embrace for it seems to be imposed on naive female tourists only.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319814183305358561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28824207.post-27406362332825138232007-05-02T09:52:00.000-04:002007-05-02T09:52:00.000-04:00HAHA!

Well, Geraldine Rojas and Jennifer Bratt do the Urquiza thing with hands that look more like jewelry models than banana fingers, so I know it's possible to look nice with it, but that is the most hilarious description of the spread hand I've ever heard. I'm going to treasure that one.La Planchadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263807632034939958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28824207.post-39110141739483492822007-05-02T09:47:00.000-04:002007-05-02T09:47:00.000-04:00I will have to take note of the Villa Urquiza fing...I will have to take note of the Villa Urquiza finger spread, now that I am in this barrio. Frankly I think spreading the fingers like a bunch of bananas does not look very elegant. Also I can here my ballet teacher Nadia, scolding my 6 year old self.
