Once again I am imploring y'all to ask whether someone dances lead or follow before asking them to dance
#nothing happened i just remembered how many times other leads on the social floor have assumed i follow#& how many follows assume i follow for that matter#i wear a badge that says 'i dance lead' but. many people simply do not see that 💀#anyway if you're a lead asking someone to dance PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ask if they dance follow first#& THEN if they'd like to dance. it'll save us all a lotta time & embarrassment#if for some reason you really don't want to ask what part someone dances??? observe them on the floor with others#but even then pls just ask it's so so easy & one time a lead thought they saw me dancing follow earlier but i most certainly was not sir#(i'm guessing they saw me leading someone who usually leads but was trying follow – sometimes that looks a bit confusing)#(or maybe they saw me follow for side-by-side charleston?? only because that's so easy to reverse lol & that's quite different to lindy!!!)#(my point being. observation can fail you & it's best to directly ask instead of assuming what people dance & then having to#decline the offer YOU made!!!)#ppl who dance both i adore you you are amazing and i cannot be you because i must spite everyone who automatically assumes i dance follow by#continuing to exclusively dance lead#(i am open to dancing a little teensy tiny bit of follow i just won't be formally learning how to follow or presenting myself as a follow)#context: swing dancing is my hobby
