  Lead and follow (dance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In partner dancing, the two partners are labelled as the leader and the follower, or lead and follow.
Collision avoidance is one of the cases when the follower is actually required to "backlead" or at least to communicate about the danger to the leader, and the leaders have to expect this.
In travelling dances, such as Waltz, common follower's signals of danger are an unusual resistance to the lead, or a slight tap by the shoulder.

For the lead and follow to interact with each other, a connection must be established.
In choreographed pieces, tandem charleston and other situations where the follow is in a tandem or shadow position, the lead and follow will use the same footwork.
In general, the follow starts by being pulled with her arm, which leads (pulls or pushes) her body, which directs her feet and the rest of her.

 The Magic of Lead and Follow
When the follower listens to the leader from a central place of calm and quiet, she is available to his message and receptive in a way she can never be when imposing her own plan on the dance.
If he leads something you cannot do, either because your weight is on the wrong foot or you are already committed in the opposite direction, then you do the best you can to get to the spot he wants you to occupy.
If you can't tune to your follower or appreciate what your lead requires of her, or if you won't allow her to participate in the dance as a partner, then you need to learn to follow.

Leads are conveyed by changes in the structure of the dance frame, which necessarily moves the entire torsos of both dancers.
No one is claiming that the gent should be able to lead a lady who "doesn't even give you any resistance in her arm"; rather, we are saying that the lady should be concentrating on learning how to give the proper resistance, so that the gent can lead her into whatever figure he wants.
Leading in social dance requires experimentally determining the followers vocabulary and picking out from the subset of your possible leads the ones that you determine she's likely to be able to follow.

 Lead and Follow
Both are sensitive to each other and are prepared to follow, and the dance becomes more of a balanced conversation, back and forth, a give and take, a discussion, maybe even a civilized debate between colleagues; rather than the more one-sided or even autocratic relationship in traditional lead and follow.
For instance, in leading an open telemark, lowering and a little left-face body rotation is maybe just as important as the initial movement of the lead foot in leading the figure, and the woman can do that as well as the man can.
Following is a discreet activity, a unique skill, just as leading is. While the leader has to visualize the figure and communicate clearly what he wants his partner to do, the follower has to interpret that communication and then execute the request.

 Lead and Follow vs. Routine - Dance Forums
To me lead and follow is a constant challenge and that is what makes it enjoyable for me. The thrill of being twirled around on the dancefloor, not knowing what you'll do next is fantastic.
I love both types, but to me, being a good lead or follow is where the real skill is. Anyone can dance a routine and get the steps right if practiced over and over and over again.
This is different from lead and follow as it allows you to rehearse transitions between steps.

While it is true that since the epoch of feminine participation in the tango practices in BA the older milongueros have for the most part shuned exchange of lead and follow, that unfortunate turn of events has much more to do with cultural homophobia and shame than it has to do with the tango.
Most of the new followers decorations are robbed from leads that preceded them historically and are then made femine to the taste of the individual follower.

 Baseball/Softball - Lead and Follow Drill
The lead hand swing allows a hitter to establish proper timing and power with the lead side of the body, giving the hitter proper contact with the ball.
The follow hand swing establishes the feeling of throwing the bat at the ball.

 LLOYDIAN DANCE: Why men lead
If the follower is taller, then the leader will have to stand very close to her in order to reach above her head, giving her little room to turn and little room for error.
If a woman were to lead a dance with a man, then in order to do any of these moves, the man would have to trust her absolutely to catch him, and he probably wouldn't, especially if she were a stranger.
If she is leading, she will learn less about him, and the sensation of having a man follow her is not as pleasurable as the sensation of being well led by a man who is a decisive and skilled dancer.

 Lead, Follow, of Go Over the Sea by M.G. London - Page 1 of 10
In Lord of the Rings, Tolkien develops several relationships in keeping with the ideas on loyalty he expresses in "Ofermod." These ideas can also be applied to the famous Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, and thus a reading of Beowulf reveals many parallels to the leaders and subordinates in Lord of the Rings.
While none of the individual participants in these relationships is depicted as perfect, the relationship itself is shown to stem from an ideal conception of the leader and servant dynamic, and the degree to which the relationship approaches this ideal helps to define the characters involved.
Samwise Gamgee is depicted initially as one taken by notions of fantastic beings, possessing a deep sense of loyalty and a certain sensitivity.

While there is no question that dancing with a better partner will make you *look* good, and that with such a partner you can concentrate more on styling details and so on because the lead and follow doesn't need so much attention, it is not the best way to practice lead/follow skills.
There is a certain type of character (leader) that one encounters again and again if one has been dancing for any length of time: the guy who only wants to dance with the best followers because he believes they are the only partners who can match his high skill level.

Of course the degree of effectiveness depends on how it is done, the honesty of the directors in their assessment and the effectiveness of how they use the results.
We recommend the latter, especially if a board is weak, has directors who have considerable tenure, directors who have not been on other boards (to see what other boards do well) or a board that has a “not invented here” mindset.
The process is effective in that it covers the issues critical to board and director performance and accountability and lays a foundation for the board to chart a targeted course for follow-up developmental action.
