Lead or Follow?
Although this dance is not gender specific and anyone can lead or follow you will find most dancers follow the same pattern in the old movies where the lead is the gentleman and the follow is the lady. Choose your ticket accordingly but once again we don't mind what role you do. The day is a great way to meet some fun people as we rotate you around during the sessions.
