I love moves with a bit (or a lot) of footwork and actually went to a Swing/Ceroc workshop yesterday designed to teach some swing moves that can be integrated with Ceroc.
Signalling kept coming up: The answer was often that 'the lady might not realise straight away but she'll generally catch up'.
Later on in the day I asked how someone would signal one the move changes, um..I can't remember the names but the first one involved kicking forwards, and the second involved kicking forwards, rotating then kicking backwards. I couldn't see how it could be signalled. Then one of the teachers did it with me, and really, I couldn't miss it. Obviously it helped that I'd been learning the move, but I didn't know when the change was coming and when firmly led it was verrry verrry obvious.
I don't see what's wrong with telling someone what move is coming up on occasion, or even what steps to do..it's supposed to be fun, not a test!
An inexperienced dancer like myself can do with the occasional hint!
