I am not that tall (5'11") so I guess a lot of leaders have the same problem. I am not sure what the solution is except to make all followers wear very high heels
Another bad habit is when I suddenly remember a move in the middle of a dance and I am so pleased with myself that I put it in immediately, irrespective of whether it fits into the flow of the dance or suits the music
. Again not sure how to cure this as, if I didn't put it in straight away, I would probably have forgotten it ten seconds later. In fact, maybe I do do that sometimes, but forget those occassions when I do
