Hi,

as a fairly experienced male salsa dancer:
if the lady is too relaxed it won't work, there needs to be a certain kind of tension in the arms, a connection, or nobody can show you where to go/lead you!.
the lead lets you fell when he needs this tension by himself also putting tension in hands and arms!.

if you make your arms "stiff" it will also not work, it needs to be dynamic, when needed!.

the other trick is to wait until you are shown/led what to do, don't rush because you "think"you have to do something!.

and finally: if you don't have a few steps/moves so much ingrained that you will do them automatically when your partner leads you, it will also not work very well!.

so making many many miles on the dancefloor, with several people, preferably good leads will make you a fantastic dancer, if you have any talent and rythmic feeling at all!. very talented people can give a show after a year, most people take some years to be really comfortable!. research the net, there are many sites!. but above all, have fun learning :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ha ha me too - I am a quite controlling and dominant person who doesn't let men lead me in real life!. Therefore when I am dancing I find it hard to be compliant!. The trick if finding a good partner who you trust!. After a while I find it quite liberating being more submissive actually!.
You will learn how it just takes time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you just need to relax and let the guy lead and take control dont force the moves he'll choose which way to lead youWww@QuestionHome@Com
