The Big Mistake Followers Make

You’ve probably heard people say, “Just follow the lead, and you’ll be fine.” But that’s only half the story. Yes, a good lead can make you feel great. But only relying on your partner? That’s like trying to win a race with one shoe.

Think about it this way:

• A good lead gives you the basic steps
• But you make the dance come alive

It’s like a coloring book. The lead gives you the lines, but you fill in the colors. That’s where your own style comes in.

Why Your Own Style Matters

Your style isn’t just about fancy moves. It’s your chance to:

1. Show who you are
2. Work well with your partner
3. Make the dance more interesting

When was the last time you saw an amazing dance where one person just stood there? Never, right?

The New Way to Think

So, what’s the big change in thinking? It’s easy: You’re not just following; you’re helping create the dance.

This new way of thinking changes your dancing from just going along to being active. You’re not waiting to be told what to do; you’re adding your own touch. It’s like playing music with friends – there’s a plan, but you can also add your own ideas.

How to Start Thinking This New Way

1. Learn the basics: Get to know the main moves of your dance.
2. Practice alone: Work on your style without a partner.
3. Watch others: Look at good dancers and see how they express themselves.
4. Try new things: Test out new moves when you practice. It’s okay if they don’t all work!
5. Talk to your partners: Discuss how you can dance well together.

Remember, getting better takes time. It’s like a journey, not a race.

What You’ll Get

When you start thinking this way, good things happen. You’ll see:

• More people wanting to dance with you
• Feeling better about your dancing
• Understanding the music and your partner better
• Having more fun when you dance!

Who wouldn’t want to dance with someone who brings something special to the dance?

Wrapping It Up

Following is still important, for sure! But if you want to be the dancer everyone’s excited to dance with, you need to bring more to the dance.

So next time you dance, remember: you’re not just following, you’re helping create the dance. Try it out, and watch as more and more people want to dance with you.
