The shoulder block is actually a great tip. Usually with beginners I stop doing hair brushes after the 2nd failed attempt(or anything else) Thanks for video!
Thank you! I’m a beginner & just went to my first social. The leads who blocked my shoulder helped me understand what they were trying to do tremendously & allowed me to feel more relaxed in general. Especially since I’ve really only learned cross body leads & right turns so far. One lead had me doing all sorts of things I haven’t learned in class yet just because he was so clear with his signaling. Just want to add for the more experienced leads reading this… please be kind & try not to be condescending or visibly disappointed if your less experienced follow doesn’t understand something. We’re already feeling self-conscious & out of our depth. A little kindness & humor goes a looooong way.
So well said Hilary! If everyone showed a little more empathy, everyone would be having more fun. It's important that we can adjust to our partners and focus on just having a good time. So glad that shoulder blocking tip worked in action. Keep dancing and enjoying yourself (even if you get one or two negative experiences)! Thanks for your comment. -Robin
1st. Her Halo should be bigger... She will understand that's it's a Turn... not a comb... 2nd. Hair Comb starts at Point of Execution, that's determined by the Leader... It doesn't give her a chance to think it's a turn. 3. It's always been called a Hair Comb, not a Hair Brush...
From her axis, her halo should be slightly smaller than shoulder width around... just this positioning of her hand should tell her it's a turn... Point of execution is the difference between this position of your lead and the point at which you lead the comb... Making a very directional contrasting lead will make her follow without a decision on what you want her to do...

Not sure what you mean by #2
