Yes, they absolutely should, for the same reasons that CTA training involves dancing as both a lead and a follow. As JB said, if you haven't done it yourself it's impossible to know exactly what the beginners you're trying to help are experiencing. Oddly enough my hardest move as a follower is also the first move, although TheTramp gave me lots of practice a couple of weeks back, so I think I was beginning to get the hang of it towards the end. Him shouting "FIRST MOVE" helped a lot too.
