關於女性在探戈的角色,來自Portland的Rose表示:
1.女性作為follower,對舞蹈的影響力不亞於男性的帶領。首先,是女性在選擇她要接誰的目光,是她在選擇要跟誰跳。
2. 女性在follow時,是完全有意識且主動能決定要不要同意follow對方的動作。她如何詮釋leader的訊號,也是她的選擇。
3. Follower的回應、時點,及動作的質地,對音樂性的表現,都有很大的影響力。
4.最好的時刻,是當 leader 與 follower共同為這支舞而為對方努力,並且能在溫暖且信任的懷抱裡,有自信地表現出自己個人的獨特性
5.對彼此要良善。不要把女人味及男人味,誤為弱與強,或掠食者及獵物的關係。

The Woman's Role in Tango

"Sometimes I have found that men get on these power trips about leading and neglect to acknowledge the true fact that the follower has an equal amount of influence on the dance and that it is truly a partnership. Even the most machismo men can not deny the powerful role of the follower.
"Here are a couple of things to consider about the role of the follower and her power to influence the dance:
1. It is the woman's choice who she dances with. She allows herself to be approached or not, she selects whether or not to catch a man's gaze. I would go so far as to say that most of the time it is really the woman doing the asking with her posture and eye contact and not really the other way around.
2. The follower is in control of the dance. Without someone who has agreed to follow you, there can be no lead. There is nothing 'prey'-like about this and it is a completely conscious and active choice on the part of the follower. Without her trust and response your lead means nothing. Also, the way in which she interprets the lead is her choice, so as a leader you have to be aware of and open to the possibilities she presents.
3. The follower has an extremely influential role in the expression of musicality. Her timing, responsiveness, and the manner in which she executes the movements which are lead are all completely her responsibility. Also, the spaces in between what you lead are hers to play with.
The best dances happen when both the leader and follower are striving to make the dance delicious for the other person while confidently expressing their personal uniqueness in a warm and trusting embrace.
Be kind to one another. Don't confuse femininity and masculinity with weak and strong or predator and prey."
