So, in other words, you're a passive follower?

I don't believe I'll be saying that particular phrase any time soon to that person

Kicca and Keiji have great strengths as teachers - they focus on technique, they demonstrate the spirit of the dance, they have so far completely ignored the dodgy Basic 8, they have patience and humour, and so on. But they haven't really emphasised the sequence (for the follower) of: wait for offer - move - wait for leader to follow you.

Oh well, all teachers are different - sometimes I think there are more AT teachers in London than AT dancers
