| | 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. |
