Personalized Coaching for your Leading and Following with Martin Rivera
Lead is all about communication and it becomes a conversation of the physical between two dancers. Good lead is an art form that requires sensitivity. A good leader is sensitive to the partner’s level of dance. As a leader you must make your intentions clear by committing to the movement and following through to the end. There is no room for mixed messages, which can be confusing to the follower and lead to awkward moments. A clear understanding of the movement is necessary so that it can be communicated easily and on time to the follower.
The follower has an equally important role, which is to follow. This, in essence, means that the follower has to be sensitive, aware and respond using good tone in the arms. The follower should not anticipate the movement but wait to be lead. Staying connected to your partner at all times is critical in order to obtain good lead and follow.
