....but to me 'looking at your partner' is a tini bit different to actually making 'eye contact'. 'Looking at your partner' is a must, and while I can see, I dunno, stepping back into a basket and making 'eye contact' is 'good', I don't get this 'must have eye contact most of the time' stuff.
Truth be told, I kinda like it when the lady uses her head to make angles and shapes, (different, but similar to spotting. Love all that stuff). They still watch you, as in the whole of you, pherpherial vision is great, but actually making 'eye contact' all the time. Creepy.
So OK. Educate me.
What visual aspects of the lead am I missing ?
