Pick by the song, not by the suit
Leading means giving clear signals on the beat. The partner who hears the count more easily usually leads. Clothing does not matter: a lead can wear a gown and a follow can wear a tux.
Some couples switch halfway through the song. It reads beautifully to guests and gives both of you a moment.
Who takes the dip
The dip goes to the steadier partner, the one with better balance and a stronger base, as the support. The other partner is dipped. This is about safety, not roles.
Questions people ask
Do you teach two grooms and two brides?
Yes. All couples are welcome. Same lessons, same packages, same price.
