Dchester, The lead. Antonyms: Strong and Weak, right?
There is only one way for the good lead: Strong. Weak lead is not lead. Strong but gentle and sensitive. It can be soft or sharp, insisting or freeing. But it is always strong. Strong lead does not mean rough, it does not mean unconsidering, it does not mean inexperienced, it does not mean "not with the rhythm", it does not mean shaky, it does not mean uncomfortable. Opposite to all of that. But lead is strong. Otherwise it is not lead. Good Strong Lead is gentle, sensitive, soft or sharp, considering, done with the great deal of experience, knowing what to do, precisely with rhythm, very stable, very comfortable, giving clear signals, playing with the womans resistance, surprising her, carring her, freeing her for anything she wants, moving her body and soul. That what it means - Strong Lead. And by the way, men - do not forget to dance while you are leading ! Otherwise it is not a dance.
