Yeah yeah, "dancing as a follow". I just like
mirroring titles.
From elsewhere:
Quote:
Gadget: I've danced with a couple of male followers, and a couple of ladies have tried to lead me: Result - I can't follow.
Me: A couple? After two freestyle dances and no lessons, most women can't follow either.
Gadget: I know what I should be doing. I can feel the lead. I just use that lead to set up my own move instead of waiting for the lady to tell me where to go next - not so much anticipating, more positioning for what my next lead would be.
My dancing should give me an advantage over a complete begginer: I can spin, I know where the hand will be, I can understand the lead - I just can't follow it!

I've heard similar laments from female followers at various times. They got better with more lessons and more dances. *shrug*
I've danced follow in a single lesson, and in a handful of songs freestyle. I can sometimes interpret signals or guess moves correctly, but I can't follow yet. Is that slow?
What we need is the successful male follows to let on: how many dances did it take before it clicked?
