During the class, I believe that it's better for the woman to concentrate on improving her following and styling, and let the teacher worry about actually teaching the move, and the leader to learning how to do it...
Also, on plenty of occasions I've seen one of the followers 'show' (or back lead) the leader where he's going wrong, only to show him the wrong thing. |
I'm with Clive on this one. It's very hard for a woman to concentrate on her following if the move she's trying to follow is grinding to a halt for want of a correct arm-position, step or whatnot. Obviously it's a personal thing, but if I'm persistantly screwing up a move in the class I too would like to be put back on the right track.
As for being shown the wrong thing - well, free advice is worth what you pay for it. If the 'help' is wrong, or misleading then... so what? It was kind of my partner to try to give me the benefit of her wisdom and I (and my male colleagues) are smart enough to use it or ignore it at our discretion.
And on the subject of bulldozers: I've (just) made a resolution to take anyone who's uncomfortable to dance with to one side after and explain. Of course I shall ask permission to comment first, and be tactful and considerate. I'll let you know how many times I get a slap in the face in the next couple of weeks.
