I hope it's 'allowed' :what: I do try not to dissrupt other dancers while moving about the floor :innocent::D

I feel it should be a shared responsibility - if you are a leader it is your responsibiity to lead your partner where you want her/him. If you are a follower, it is your responsibility to try not to deviate too much from the "final destination point". However, being human beings, we usually pile the responsiblity on each other, especially when things don't go according to plan (as they always do!). But the fact the we are called dance partners on the dance floor, should, IMO, indicate that it is a partnership...
well I can almost never turn on the spot, so I'm voting for leads should align with follows :) Whether the few times I have managed to stay in one spot had anything to do with the quality of lead, not sure - but for bolstering my argument, lets say it is.
I usually do end up facing the lead, just not considerably further away than I think was expected.
