	Lead and follow (dance) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		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.
		Many dances have simple moves dedicated to changing the direction of travel, to be used, e.g., at the corners of the floor, or to avoid an obstacle.

	Lead and follow (dance) : Lead and follow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In partner dancing, the two partners are labelled as the lead and the follow.
		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.

	Which is harder in WCS - Lead or follow? - Dance Forums
		The lead isn't only responsible for the 'moves' but especially in WCS needs to make sure that the speed and balance and both the lead and the follow are correct.
		Dancing is wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.
		But WCS is an "educated dance" (as my instructors have told me), mean that the follow has to know her part in order to dance it.

		L'Affaire is a slow dance that incorporates a number of simple, basic yet graceful moves that can easily be mastered during their four-hour session called "Slow Dance for Romance" or be learned from a DVD series, "L'Affaire: Slow Dance for Romance," that can be found online at the www.xidance.com website.
		He learned to dance at his mother's insistence, and found to his surprise that dance required a lot of them same skills as athletics — coordination, concentration, and even a dose of creativity.
		Students are led by Dance Xpress instructors, or “coaches”, through a series of fun movements and interactive exercises that almost magically lead them to graceful synchronized movements on the dance floor.

	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.
		Or, you both might be dancing at the limit of your ability to hear, interpret, and execute (as you learn more and more and rise through the phases), and sometimes he is on top of it and in control and sometimes you are.
		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.

		The dance floor is used conservatively—unlike the space-hungry Lindy Hop—with the dancers often holding to one spot on the floor.
		According to experts on Hand Dance, that’s exactly where it was created, at parties in the apartments and basements of a congested city where space was at a premium.
		The SEZ Hand Dance Institute has revived a great dance, with all its historical and sociological significance, not only preserving an important historical tradition, but also bringing many educational, physical and social benefits to the community.

	Waltz etcetera - our dance classes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Dance teachers like to emphasize the wide potential application of a dance step, especially when teaching beginners: "You can dance swing to all kinds of music!" etc. This is valuable coaching for a beginner who may need lots of encouragement to venture out to those first few dances.
		We teach Musicality and Dance as an advanced class, examining and experimenting with the larger phrasing of dance music and other fun stuff, but in all of our classes we encourage students to listen to and be guided by the music, not just in rhythm but in mood and attitude.
		Vintage dance teachers like to tell students how the one-step swept the world in the early 20th century (remember the 20th century?), becoming the biggest dance craze before or since (tho' probably not as revolutionary or socially significant as the polka/waltz craze that swept the dance world a century and more before).

	LLOYDIAN DANCE: Why men lead
		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 a woman dances a "shine move" (one where she struts her stuff independently of him, showing him how good she is) with another woman, she will never dance it quite so well as she would with a man. She will always rein-in slightly, because there is something sexy about dancing as a couple.
		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.

		If you're looking for someone to dance with without feeling as though you're hitting on them or breaking up a marriage, talk to the "dancers" or the instructors that are out.
		Chances are, they'll be glad to dance with you or give you ideas on who to ask to dance.
		There are many times I love to dance, but I'm tired, or I've had a hard day, or I just feel like my dancing isn't up to par to dance with someone better than me. I like to provide them with a reason, instead of just a "no" but not everyone may do that.

		The focus was on the background of the dance and we also wanted to find out how committed a cross-section of the WSC community are about their genre.
		This allows a person to dance with a complete stranger who is also a west coast swing dancer and still be able to understand what he/she is doing.
		EC Swing was the progenitor of WC Swing but since EC Swing is a circular dance utilizing large areas of a dance floor WC Swing was developed to be danced on a smaller dance floor since the big dance floor night clubs were gone.

		There are two varieties of lead and follow dance that I'm very involved with: lindy hop swing and syllabus ballroom.

		Although a more regimented dance than swing, ballroom still offers a form of expression that can be transmitted through connection and observation.

		Although it appears to be a good value in terms of the large number of moves shown for the cost, as well as the fact that it teaches moves suitable for single-step basic (suitable for Rock n Roll music) and triple-step basic (suitable for slower tempos of swing) it includes virtually no explanation.
		Critically important explanation of how to lead and follow dance moves are altogether absent.
		The dvd has a cool dance session at the end, the things that these people are doing are NOT taught on the dvd, but are really neat to watch.

	Who Am I ?
		I'm actively involved with partner dancing; I've been going swing dancing regularly for over 5 years, and also love salsa, tango, etc. So dancing is a big part of who I am.
		I also wish there were more interaction in such a way that people could convey how they "hear the music" of the world and have a partner who could not just view the interaction of a person and the music, but be a part of it and experience it.
		Which leads to my next belief: belief in #2.

	Maine Swing Dance in Bangor-Brewer area (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		West Coast Swing is a lead-and-follow dance that is smoothly executed to a wide variety of musical styles, including blues, RandB and contemporary music.
		WCS originated from a dance called the Savoy Style Lindy, which was done at the Savoy Ballroom in New York in the early 1930's, although not invented by it was indirectly spawned by a man whose name was Dean Collins who also danced at the Savoy while in New York.
		However, many swing movies only had "one couple dancing" at a time and many previous movies of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers will show a slot being danced ("for the camera", I believe.) This "Slot" idea was to get the profile of the dancers rather than the backs of the dancers to the camera.
