But unfortunatly, no good for men like me who need to develop a stronger lead - any excercises recommended for this particular ailment?

Like the idea, interesting to work out how you could teach people to listen for/anticipate breaks and changes in the music.
For dancing to the beat, base, melody, lyrics, ... it would be nice if you could get a multi-track and fade out all but the bit you don't want, then fade them in again - don't know how much of that is poss - ask the DJ's.

Regarding types of workshops:
Style taster - one move, done in several different styles; standard, blues, hip-hop, latin, disco...
Fancy Footwork - show how to add style to the most basic moves with sweeps, kicks, pointing...
Flair - what can be done with the off-hand
Knots - how to get into/out of lots of double handed, twisty, pretzel things
Choreography - how to put together a routine, or semi-routine.
Telepathy - dancing to the same beat/area of the song as your partner is (poss one wearing walkman, and other trying to dance to it?)
Dancing breaks - what to do with a break in the music or given one by your partner; shimmy, wiggle, spin, stalk, stroke...
Entrance - how to get from the side of the floor to a space and start dancing without pausing for a circle
...
that's all for now - I don't know if any/all of the above are already workshops though.
