I used to think the way as Shonali thinks while I was taking latin dance lessions. But in my case the teacher was a girl. She used to focus more on girls and their footwork. Whoever sees latin dances watche the girls more than boys. During my training sessions I practised so hard to work on my steps but my dance teacher always used to compliment my female partner. I used to say Huuuh !! Not a single compliment after this hard work! Is this dance for women only?

Although men lead in this dance but they get very little attention from the audience. In this case, I can safely say that we dance for our relaxation and not for others

I had the same feelings for girls, which Shonali mentioned in her post, when I took my dance lessons. Now I have decided to learn it from a gents teacher;)

As Suderman says, it’s not about command and obey. So I won’t blame anyone for this. I think it about TEAMWORK. As far as you are a good team you are not hurt. What say?

Plus, if you notice, in all the above mentioned dances, the guy goes forward always with his left foot and the gals go back with their right. So next time, tell ur salsa boy, the man can go forward all the way, but the woman is always right;)
