Language and tone

I don't think this Lead and Follow page clearly explains how to actually lead or follow. While I agree with most everything in it. I'm not sure it really helps the novice and I feel that the general tone doesn't communicate how to actually dance. I don't mean to criticize and am not trying to offend anybody, my only concern is people being able to dance after reading about it so they can dance and have more fun:) And so I would like to dialog with people but haven't figured out wikipedia yet. And will be making changes over the next month and looking forward to the conversations to take placeJavacaliente (talk) 19:37, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I organized some of the categories. While I know there are some messes that have been created i feel its better to at least start the clean up process rather than not do anything at all with the hopes of having it done "perfect". Javacaliente (talk) 09:41, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and Follow

Does the role of the lead and follow in terms of job description and how it is properly done have any relevance with which sex is the lead or follow? Because I don't see the relevance to it and would like to delete the conversation pertaining to local dance customs( meaning, which sex is lead and which sex is follow) and focus on the lead and follow and how it is done. Or conversely start a subsection and discuss that only there and leave the rest of the article to lead and follow terminology. Javacaliente (talk) 00:52, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Circular reference

Hi,

anyone noticed that this article refers in the "References" section to a web page, which itself says that the text is "pulled" from this very same Wikipedia article?

History section please

How did "Lead and follow" develop? Have there been other kinds of dancing without "lead and follow" before?--89.12.139.120 (talk) 14:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's the name of the male partner? Camarero?
