Role swapping

Kate's Cuban class on Wednesday was really useful with lots of points of style, and my rueda calling seems to have improved. Amusingly, Kate's boyfriend Jon was the best follower there by some distance (and according to my daughter, Debbie was one of the best leaders).

Swapping lead and follow is quite an entertaining thing to do. Perhaps that could be included in Andy's next advanced workshop series? The best female leader I've encountered was Anita: not only could she lead well - and she's tall enough for it not to look daft - but she was very good at explaining how to follow. I was just getting to grips with the principle of following when she went off to Japan.

Quick bit of info: Sabina and Misael's Cuban classes in Q Bar on Sundays are off until September as the venue is being refurbished.
