Yes, I recommend it as a great way for beginners to learn what it feels like to be led and focus on
feeling movement rather than
seeing it: blocking out the visual lead and distractions you are picking up from your partner so that you are only going on the physical lead (and the music).
If your partner leads strange moves, then it will probably help (assuming that they
can actually lead the moves properly

). But it's only half of leading: you could also try removing the physical lead and going soley by the visual clues. {I need to practice this; I think the visual lead from my body position is often contrary to my physical lead
