    Going 'off timing' or just dancing musically?

    Followers, how does it feel when a good lead dissociates their stepping from the leading this way? As a lead, some of my favourite partners are those where I feel exactly where their weight is (via some combination of a good connection and good stepping on their side). For a lead that leads well...
