What are you guys talking about.  Leaders aren't off
balance unless they start concentrating on stupid
things to do with their feet that don't come natural
to them.  If the person can walk, he has enough
balance to dance.  Especially beginners, where their
no need for them to be doing any pivoting or something
that would cause them to lose balance.  Perhaps after
more experience someone can refine their way of
walking, but in the beginning he should just walk the
way he walks.

I agree with Roberto, teachers should focus on feeling
more than steps.

There is probably not much you can do about these
teachers.  When you meet new guys that compliment your
dancing you could give them advice on who to study
with.
