Tips for the Men

It takes a while to really hone the skill of leading. Practice, instruction and patience are what I'd say to be the magic ingredients. One can step in any direction (always remember that) but, to be able to manipulate the direction of another is what lead and follow is really about.

Take the time to gain more knowledge in the skill of leading early on in your dancing. As your patterns become more complicated you'll have to worry less about whether or not someone can follow your lead. A great lead with either basic or advanced patterns, will make you more popular on the dance floor. Most ladies simply care that they're having fun, are comfortable and that they're arms are still attached by the end of the song. ;)
