they always will. If you can lead any/all of them with exactly the same lead, then please let me know how. Don't be worried about trying to make them all move in the same way - as long as they all get to roughly the right place, you're doing well.

I assume these changes originate at Ceroc HQ.

Yea; there have been a few little changes, but all seem to be for the better... there are some posts in here about them - do a bit of searching if you're interested.

Their sense of rhythm doesn't seem to coincide with my probably more free interpretation. Is anyone else aware of this as problem, or am I just completely off the beat? In this situation I don't feel at all in control and have to try to adapt.

some people just 'bounce'. What to do is try and match them (rather than what you hear in the music) - it sort of 'cancels' it out and allows you to focus more on the moves and dancing properly. You could also try and
not bounce your hand with the lady - be slightly firmer and try to keep it steady and level. The lady will probably pick up on it and the 'bounce' will reduce.
