I couldn't make head nor tails of Mario's post, but Michael's question
is something I've been thinking about for awhile, in that I'm not sure
how I feel to my partner.

I get compliments on my leading--that it's clear and musical; I lead
fairly basic stuff, and recently have come to think that I rush my
turns.  I wonder if followers don't realize how much better a turn
could be.  In any case, I don't feel bad leading, but it surprises me
that women like it so much.

I don't get many compliments on my following, although recently I've
gotten a few comments that I'm dancing much smoother than I used to.
Plus in the past few weeks, with a few crucial privates, I'm
undergoing something of a seachange in my following, and am more often
feeling really solid in my dancing.  I think that translates to a good
feeling for my leader, but I don't know for sure.

So: can you tell how you feel to your partner?
