Two difficult ones to lead come to mind:
Any archie type move - reall really hate that move, so I tend to get it all wrong.
Push Spin -  A simple push spin?? YES! For some bizzarre reason, the flat hand to flat hand preparation seems to send many experienced ladies into a kind of "oh my god, why is he doing that?!" rabbit in headlight stance  Now I know my lead is reasonable, so I'm not convinced (yet) it's down to me - I have this sneaky feeling it's simply a move that seems to be done so rarely on social floor, that it takes people by suprise? Of course, I could just be very crap at leading a very simple move I guess! |
K - follower only opinion on the above... sways are lovely
Archie - straightforward is fine, but I can get a bit tangled coming out of it. Cause it's a bit tricky to start with, if the leader does something I'm not expecting as they did the other day (and I didn't know about variations - stupid I know, but I didn't), then I find it hard to follow. However, now I know that I might come out of it doing something I didn't expect, I'll find it easier in the future, if that makes sense (trying not to anticipate basically
)
Push spin – well, I’m not that experienced, but I do find a tendency for leaders to push me off balance with this one if they don't push down in a way that's right for me, or to go the other way and give me such a weak lead that I don’t follow it very well. Maybe that’s something to do with general experience of this that causes the rabbit in headlights look – the expectation that they might end up off balance? I'm sure it’s not your lead gojive - I’ve never danced with you (to my knowledge) so I can't comment. But I do hate being pushed off balance
I can do it well enough myself, don’t need any help!
