This really is a place for followers to choose what happens in a more macroscopic way, while still being traditional. And they can do this without getting in the way of the lead/follow. But really, if you do a single embellishment or if you layer a number of embellishments together, think about what you are showing the world. Ask, "can my movements have a clearer direction?", "do I have a real understanding of the technique behind this particular movement?", "does what I have chosen to do fit with the music or with the mood between myself and the leader at this moment?"

When embellishments are chosen carefully and are well executed, they can add interest to the dance both for the audience and for the interpersonal conversation you are having.
