Spooky! Julie and I spent a couple of hours working on giros and molinettes last night (we're stealing a move Ian and Zoe did in the AT demo on SCD for this dance demo thing - it looked easier than it is). I find staying on the circumference of the circle really difficult, particularly when trying to keep some kind of quality in the step. When Julie is turning round me she has a habit of taking a short-cut and stepping across the circle on her side step and that throws me back on my heels. Get Kev doing them as well so you can feel the problems you cause each other!

Apparently, when the woman gets really good, she no longer 'thinks', she becomes completely submissive to her partner, surrendering herself to his lead.

I wish! Seriously, the follower only follows because she chooses to accept the leader's invitation. Keeping that "tension" between you - and a touch of coquettish "maybe I will, maybe I won't" is great. If you surrender yourself it's only because you choose to; when you feel like it you can still stick a spanner in the leader's works.
