What does “leading” mean in dancing?
Leading in dancing is left to the gentleman. Ladies do not lead in dancing. There are three (3) types of lead utilized by the gentleman in ballroom dancing: (a) body lead; (b) hand and arm lead and (c) sight (visual) lead. Many times the gentleman will utilize more than one lead in the execution of a figure or dance. Therefore, it is important that you fully understand the technique and application of each type of lead.
