Changing Partners
The Ward Carter system of teaching group lessons is built on changing partners. This is the man’s opportunity to learn how to lead different ladies and similarly, the opportunity for the ladies to learn to follow leads form different men. This teaching method is proven to help you become a better dancer. If you and your partner make mistakes on a step, you will realize it when you dance with the next partner. If for some reason you do not want to change partners, you would be best serve by taking a private lesson.
