Follow the Follower
- In practice hold, follower pivots and extends either forwards OR backwards pivot after shared side step (follower’s choice!)
- Leader Follows the Follower and accompanies her chosen ocho
- Alternate with ochos in which the leader invites forward vs backwards
- Add option of leader contradicting ocho direction chosen by follower
- Exchange about how the Yin/Yang grid relates to lead/follow off the dance floor
