You could always suggest this as a fun competition on the day - "Stranger a with Dance" - ie dance with a stranger, but the wrong way round!
Which is harder - leading or following?
At first they are both impossible!
After a couple of classes, then leading is harder. You have to think in advance of a step to lead, and make sure you have the correct hand, while still trying to lead the current move. All the lady has to worry about is the current move.
But once a man has got his standard moves that he can do in his sleep, he doesn't have to learn anything completely new. (Of course he should still learn how to do them properly!) However his partner has to be able to do these moves, the way he leads them. Then the next dance she has a different partner, with different moves, and different ways of leading them. From here on in, it is the lady that has the harder job.
I'm not very good at following, but I would love to try if Sheena or Denise don't mind dancing with a beginner!
