- tell her that's how we all feel all the time, I dare you
One of the problems with practicing leading AT is that I think you need a partner to tell you if you're doing it right. Whereas a lot of the follower role is about balance, axis, posture etc., and you can practice this by yourself (endless ochos and other pivot-y things).
I also think it's harder learning to be a leader than a follower in the initial stages of AT - well, in every dance probably. A beginner follower can be led to a large extent, a beginner leader can't be...
