I'm totally with you on this, I have no idea how I'm going to react to what my partner leads, until it happens
I'm NOT saying I don't follow but I do add in my own little accents to punctuate the movements, so the dance becomes a 3way conversation, between me, my partner and the music.
The most inspired things definitely happen mostly on weekenders, after hours of dancing, when I'm slightly tired and very relaxed. and have the right partner, of course! (some partners give absolutely no room at all, which I personally find quite stifling )
I know it freaks out many leads but I can't help it, honestly.
I've said it before and I mean it, I surprise myself most of the time!
And it doesn't necessarily always go right OR look very cool
