One swallow does not make a summer, but it is an instance of my point about the beginners class not emphasising that the man is expected to lead, and a bit of back-leading not being too bad a thing for the beginner male. This guy obviously did not feel confident enough to lead yet. Kudos for dragging him into it.

( I came from a self-taught trad jive background, and was freestyling before my first MJ lesson. "Bounce - you call that bounce ...")
