Why do so few men dance as followers? | Benjamin

Author: Kevin y Nika September 18, 2020 Duration: 55:35
We are slowly getting used to seeing women take on a leader role. Yet it's rare to see men dancing as followers. Are men afraid to do so? What makes a man dance as a follow? And how does dancing as a follow make you a better lead? Our guest in this episode is Benjamin from the UK. Like every other guy he started his dance career as a leader. One eventful night out at a festival in France made him reconsider his choices. And since then everything changed for him! Listen in as we discuss and question the status quo of our beloved latin dance world and all its stigmas!
