Leading is hard.

I must say, I give props to the men in our class. As a follower, I've noticed IMMENSE increases in everyone's ability to lead. We have begun to understand and exhibit the firmness required for the leaders to lead. Dancing during Weeks 1 and 2 were difficult solely due to the lack of direction in the leaders, myself included. In Week 5, our most recent class, I was thrilled by the intention that has begun to emerge in our leadering. Having danced with all the men in our class periodically since the beginning, I've experienced their noticeable improvement firsthand, along with my own ability as a follower to detect changes in their intention and react accordingly. The innovation behind their moves and the readiness behind my own has begun to show more as we're all becoming more confident in our steps, or in our reaction to another's intention with their steps.
