Five Tips for Followers (Swing Dance)

[@katrinaxharhus3747]

These are all really helpful! Do you have any tips for keeping your feet underneath you with a much taller lead who's making very big steps? I'm very short and sometimes find I have trouble moving enough to keep up with a lead and stay over my feet, which simultaneously makes finishing those weight shifts a little harder. Sometimes I end up hopping an extra time on one foot to keep up--which works for faster dances and covers extra distance without shifting weight between feet at the wrong point, but I don't want to have to do that more than is stylistically fun and appropriate. Or, is it really as much the lead's responsibility to make sure he's not making his steps too big for a tiny follow and leaving her off balance?

Awesome, my tip for leader and followers: don't sit on heaters.. their mounting might break and you got a huge disaster. Been there, done that.

I think that many of those tips come down to the follower should not get anxious and should not anticipate her partner.

I know this video is 3 years old, but recently my boyfriend and I started attending a local Lindy Hop class and it's really been great. For Tip N2, I came up with a neat little way to check if my rock steps are "complete" and it is to try and say "lead me" while doing the rock step.

Thank you so much guys. My wife and I have been having difficulty being more connected. I love her so much and I hope this helps us improve our communication in the dance. 😊

All these tips for the follower assume that the leader is leading. Remember it takes two.
