Jackie:
Since the man "follows the woman," the size of the woman's
step is to a large extent dependent on the man's frame. If
the man leads a small step, the woman should feel small
movement in the frame. But then, the man has to have a FIRM
(not STIFF) frame. I place my right hand on the woman's
"small of the back" which is just about above her waist. My
experience is she can feel my frame better. If I hold my
hand higher, it can feel like I'm pulling her into my chest
and off her balance or axis.

I suggest the men practice with a chair with coasters. They
should lead the chair to move BEFORE they step.
