George's concise explanation of the "Lush Embrace", posture and balance differentiations of leader and follower, expquisite invitation and response inspired revelatory reactions of the entire class.
(George's note: I've observed Mark's progress and he is becoming one of the most elegant dancers in the Bay Area. Mark has a great blog that shares the agony and the ecstasy of learning tango.)
