Monday evenings is the Following for Leaders class. There are huge benefits 
to a leader from experiencing what it feels like to be led well vs. poorly. 
Here is what one leader says:  "It makes you better leader...it really does. 
As a  lead you begin to understand exactly what is being asked of you as a 
follower, it also allows you the capacity to break down the dance in a way 
that you hadn't seen before and produce some amazing figures as a lead.  You 
begin to see opportunities everywhere instead of putting your feet where 
they're  'supposed' to be, you begin to experiment and play and create.  Its 
actually quite freeing in more ways than you can imagine possible. I've 
learned that I've become a better leader because I
know exactly what I'm asking my follower to do, because I've done it 
myself.  Its improved my embrace, its improved my communication
skills, its opened opportunities.  I can't stress this enough...leads  - 
LEARN HOW TO FOLLOW!  You'll begin to understand just how frakkin
hard it is to do what some neophyte or experienced lead with an 
over-inflated ego who knows nothing of what its like to follow is asking
of you. "  Monday nights, 8:30PM, 3142 1st Ave SO
