Finally, it appears to me that many instructors come
to a workshop with the
intention of "teaching" a certain number of steps,
regardless of whether
they are actually learned, rather than ensuring that
(almost) every leader
is capable of leading each step confidently before
moving on to the next
one. I would submit that the only way an instructor
can be certain that
their job is done is to see each leader execute the
step with at least two
followers..."

Bless your heart, Andrew, for saying this! WHY, WHY,
WHY do so few people teach men how to lead properly??
Where it's all about? Any woman can follow a good
lead. I just despair over dancing with wet noodle
leads. It feels like dancing with men who don't have
any backbone, so they can hold on to a woman like they
mean it.

Arrrgghh!!..... :)
