I've been off dancing for 3 weeks, but when I get back, I will observe carefully from the sidelines how the experienced leads hold their arms.If it's just the once, due to wrong height assessments, I'm not bothered.I agree. The aim point is just above the follower's head. Guys of all heights can get that wrong, in either direction. I know I do.No. Quite a few spring to mind. Say about 2%, but them I avoid them, so it may be more.
I gather you're complaining about a specific individual.Yes, this is possible with beginners. With beginners, they grow out of it too and become proficient.
One change a follower can make in this situation is to have a more robust frame during assisted turns, such that if the leader is pushing her hand towards her head, she matches that force.These specific guys have been dancing for years and they will not give an inch. I have to reduce my frame otherwise may get a serious injury.
That's not always possible, and may not be with this guy. I don't know if you'll find that preferable to bending your knees and/or spinning off center.
I would much, much, much prefer to sit out.
Occasionally I might check up on one every 6 months, but they are still the same.
