Body Leading

Body Leading

Body leading is leading with your center as opposed to leading by pulling with your arms. Pulling with your arms (More Texas whip/push style) is possible but could overlead or jerk your partner. Leading using a body lead is moving your partners center by moving your center. The connection is essential to make this happen.

Body leads happen always before the beat. For example the body lead for the 1 of a Push Break happens on the "a" before the one.
