Leading, Following, Driver and Passenger

Why is there both a dance Leader and a dance Follower? It’s for the same simple reason that cars don’t have two steering wheels i.e. one for the intended driver, the other for the front passenger. On the wedding dance floor (like in a car), there is one person in charge of making decisions with the other simply following.

I’ve personally supported many same-sex wedding dance couples, including the discussion around, on the dancefloor, who is to be the Leader and who will be the Follower. On various occasions, after learning a few dance steps, the “Leader” wants to swap roles with the “Follower” contesting they’re leading role has more work than the following role! Needless to say, the “Follower” happily retains their highly loved dancing role knowing they’ve less work to do!

So, whoever is the Leader (on the dancefloor) will have authority as to when and what dance moves are done by the couple, and in time to the music. Yet, much like the driver of a car, the Leader also has the responsibility of taking care of their Follower. A car driver is responsible for their passenger when driving; a dance Leader is responsible for their Follower when dancing on a busy dancefloor!
