Anyone who has learned ballroom/couple dances (waltz, foxtrot, swing,tango) understands
what the lead/follow roles are. Contra dancing is not lead/follow.

Subject: Re: [Callers] Alternate Role Terms
I think even modern choreography does not require one gender role to lead. They may
choose to, and to add embellishments, but it is not essential. I matter which gender role
I dance, what I want from my partner is good connection and counterbalance. I love the
flourishes, don't get me wrong, but they aren't the dance. AndreaSent from my
