How do I set the right impulses when leading? How do I understand what the leader wants from me? How do I make myself perceptible to the leader as the following? How can I listen to the following? Clarity, precision and presence, in one's own steps and foot positions, in posture and embrace enable a good function in leading and following. And from this comes the beautiful and elegant form. Principles of leading and following will be studied, as well as the interplay of form and function, using step combinations that can be danced well.
For dancers with intermediate/advanced level.
