Going from the SIDE-STEP to the BACK-STEP during the mollinete is the biggest son-of-a-gun step in tango for followers and also for leaders. The follower has to pivot AND step behind her WHILE moving constantly around the leader. It’s a lot of work. She has to aim her foot perfectly while still moving her body and it’s hard to keep the embrace together. It’s the most common place of discomfort during turns and takes the fun out of mollinetes for both parties.
