Agree with Chef's post, all very good advice.
I particularly enjoy walking about wearing a walkman and freezing on the breaks, I
have to even in a crowded shop
For
followers I too would recommend a reversal - learn to lead, so you can feel the gripping and wrenching and anticipating that happens. And notice how it frees your mind to get into the music when your follower is smooth and not anticipating anything.
Ask the best follower you dare to dance. Try and work out what makes them feel so good. Ask the best lead you know for feedback. If the lead and follow are in the same room maybe even ask explicilty what is the difference in feel between yourself and your favourite follower...
That's what I did anyway
I hadn't quite got enough tension in my arms, but I did have after that process.
Another way for followers to improve is to be led by a good female and ask her for feedback. If she's good and can communicate well she can put you straight and show you what needs to be adjusted. When I say good female I have to include Andy Mc Gregor of course
