- Sometimes, the leader... You're dancing with a guy, and he doesn't give you anything in terms of the lead.
- 00:10
- His arms are just all soft, and he's, kind of, moving his body in different ways. Then, what do you do?
- 00:16
- And, really, the answer is that, the less he has, in terms of his body, - the more you have to have.
- 00:22
- So, you tighten up your core. And you stand really tall. And then, you connect yourself to your partner.
- 00:29
- And, as long as your arms don't give, it doesn't really matter what he does. You can follow his body.
- 00:35
- So, you just, kind of, aim with your chest at his middle of his chest. And you stay facing him. No matter what he does.
- 00:43
- Like this.
- 00:44
- N: Can you do the bad?
D: Sure. OK.
- 00:51
- Oh, boy.
- 00:54
- D: This is like the psychic lead... My arms are all nothing.
N: So, this is pretty bad.
- 01:02
- And, at this point, if he's this bad, you don't even worry too much about...
- 01:07
- If you can guess what he wants, then you give it to him. If you can't, you just stay in front of him, and stay connected.
- 01:14
- And, I mean, there's also this, sort of, philosophical thing.
- 01:17
- So, do you follow what he led, or do you follow what he wants?
- 01:21
- D: And...
N: It's an interesting question.
D: Yeah. And...
- 01:24
- And my instinct, is to say,
- 01:26
- That, when it's more about learning, let's say, class, or practice, or something, - you should follow exactly what he leads.
- 01:31
- N: Right. He needs the feedback.
D: And that, if it's...
- 01:33
- And that, if it's a social event, - you, sort of, compromise.
- 01:36
- So, you don't only do what he wants. But, you also don't only do what he led, if he's really bad.
- 01:39
- 'Cause then, nothing goes well. And so you find some place in the middle.
- 01:43
- Well, that's assuming that you know what he wants.
- 01:45
- So, if he doesn't have any idea what he wants, maybe you can still recognize the step.
- 01:49
- And, if you're dancing socially, and you recognize the step - do the step.
- 01:52
- Even, though, that's not... He's not leading clearly.
- 01:56
- If you don't know what it is that he is wanting to want, then just stay connected with him and, kind of, follow him around the floor.
- 02:04
- But, from a technical perspective,
- 02:07
- The advantage is that, on this side of my body, as a leader, you can connect yourself to his torso.
- 02:14
- So, for the followers, when leaders are not good, then, oftentimes, that means that their arms aren't giving you any useful information.
- 02:22
- Right.
- 02:22
- So, for example, they're saying, "Oh, I want you to do all this stuff." Or, maybe, they're not giving you anything.
- 02:28
- N: But, they'll be saying that with - you'll be like this.
D: Right. But, see, with the way that you can hold their upper arm, well that connects you to their body.
- 02:36
- And so, for example, if their upper body moves, you'll be able to feel that. Even though their arms are doing all this stupid stuff.
- 02:42
- No insult, guys.
- 02:43
- So, I want you to think that you can use this to connect your body to his body.
- 02:49
- Because, he's... You have to do it, because he's not doing it for you.
- 02:52
- There are a lot of circumstances where I advise, "You hold on for dear life, right here." And that helps a lot. And this is one of them.
- 03:02
- So, wave this arm around.
- 03:08
- Yeah. Well, that's... But, I can still dance with him. Based on this one hand.
