Help the Man Out!

More Foxtrot yesterday.  Today one of the ladies did the sway very well.  I am used to having to do all the work myself.  Sway, stepping big, rise and fall, but she did it quite admirably for someone who has been dancing for about a year.

Ladies, remember, the man's job is just to tell you what to do.  It is NOT his job to be pushing you to where he need you to be.  It is your own job to move your own body.  The leader already has enough to do.  He is dancing and moving his own body, knowing where he is going, he has to know what to do next, and he also has to think about where your feet and body are going and lead you to make the actions he would like.  By making him do the rise and fall, sway, and moving for you, you are basically making the man do two parts instead of one.

Please ladies, help the guy out a bit!  I am sure he will appreciate it!  And it will make the dancing twice as good!
