Partner Dances
In many partner dances, the male dancer must lead. This may be simply a matter of guiding the female dancer as to position during a set routine, or in free-form dances it may include deciding and communicating the sequence of the figures to be danced. Some advanced jive, jitterbug and Rock and Roll figures require the male to perform lifts, although these are normally only achieved by advanced dancers.
