Hope you all enjoy this follow-along video! Can't wait to hear how the exercises worked for you, and let us know if you'd like to see a similar one for leads!

[@magdalenakulaszewicz2894]

Thanks for really useful tips. I'm looking forward to similar ones for leads.

[@123mineu]

I hope to see your future video on leads. Very useful and hard to find otherwise. Thks.

[@alfacentauri3686]

Yes please, some lead exercises.
I just love it when you feel the response of the follower and you get that two-way communication where you can start playing with each other.

[@tono002]

Love the video thank you, and yes hope you guys have or make a leading video

[@nameunknown007]

The cat was like fu both aimlessly going in circles, I’m gonna do my window watching.
You both really have great chemistry, thanks for the tips.

[@DBYouTubeHandle]

That’s great motivation to follow, not letting the ball 🎾 fall. Smart.

[@busekaymakci]

Love your teaching!! Can you make a video about spins please?

[@randomtrails5003]

This is an excellent exercise for followers. I actually play the lead, but if I come across someone who wants to improve her follow technique, I'd be more than happy to recommend this video!

[@vtalent2000]

Looks like an awesome video and instructions to practice follower’s skills. Now I have to find a lead who’d agree to practice with me though!
I wish I could take classes in your studio but I’m not in Canada 🤣
Wish you guys all the best! Thank you very much for shooting these videos!

The Cat at 8:55! So funny! :D
I was searching for a few exercises, your video was a really big help, thank you!

[@mattw.6051]

Yes, please do that do lead as well. Just like the tip/practice I learn from bachata festival about "trust" between partner, this video emphasize about follow allowing the lead to determine the step length or direction is critical, otherwise the lead have to abandon whatever they intended to do; having said that, of course, we as lead must learn to be more confidence without being pushy or abrupt in movements. I really enjoyed the tips on turning spinning about keeping the arm/frame firm but responsive not rigid.

[@SACLynnFabia]

These exercises were very helpful. Great form since you're moving the whole body as a unit. Thank you very much.
