YQ managed to learn my style of leading and leeched most of my moves simply by following.
She adopted the 'best practice' based on the various leads she had danced with and took all the techniques that worked.
Similarly, she also borrowed the worst ... and use them to help train the girls how to follow. Why so? This is to train the girls NOT to depend on the lead, and let them be able to keep their balance and poise no matter how bad the lead and how they are 'thrown around'!
When your lead is 'mature' to a level, it'll help a lot to try following. You'll be able to appreciate the girl's footwork, problems, etc. better. And thus be able to help compensate for the girl even more
But this only works... if your lead is 'mature' enough not to become confused with too many other things. There are guys whose movement became really sissy when they tried following too early, etc. etc.
