The Lead And Follow Fix (Last Chance Week 3)

This week is all about one of the most misunderstood topics in social dancing—lead and follow. In this deep dive class, Anthony walks you through the difference between dance position and dance frame (yes, they’re not the same thing), and shows how real connection comes from clear communication—not guessing games. You’ll explore the mechanics of good frame, the concept of elasticity (stretch and compression), and how to prep your partner for turns using energy stored and released—like a rubber band. Anthony explains why followers shouldn’t “do stuff” unless they feel the lead, and why leaders need to stop thinking about what step comes next and start paying attention to what their partner is doing right now. From Sweetheart turns to advanced patterns like the Inside Weave, this class breaks down how movement, timing, and tension all come together. You'll also learn the infamous “Practice Position” drill, where followers close their eyes and learn to feel direction through connection—no memorized steps, no guessing. It’s funny, it’s packed with partner drills, and it’s one of the most eye-opening lessons in the series. If you’ve ever struggled to make your dancing feel like a true conversation, this one’s a game changer.
