No!
Typically, whenever I do this - and yes, it's a great exercise to work on, I do it in AT a lot - I generally lead the moves that are most leadable that way - Manhattans, turns, manspins, walkarounds, that sort of thing.
Step forward - they'll back off, believe me, especially from me
Some things, like spins, are more tricky. But if you think about it. the amount of force you should be applying to the lady to spin her is miniscule (David Franklin calculated it somewhere I think) - 99% of the effort should always be done by the lady. So technically, all you're doing with a non-touching lead is removing that 1% of extra force.
Me neither - but it's a very good exercise to try to get there.
