PC bias

This may be a bit outdated, but according to one participant: To satisfy the PC needs of the Columbia community, the instructors make frequent, awkward attempts to play down the inherent sexism of a dance in which the "follow" partner (which guys never volunteer for) is expected to do whatever steps their "lead" partner (which girls rarely volunteer for) leads them into. You'll often hear phrases like "Ladies, you must rise to the occasion of being led." The instructor also encourages men to try acting as the follow and women act as the lead.

my $.02: this is a misplaced PC-bashing paragraph. Put it somewhere else and leave the swing-dancing civillians out of it. Foobar 09:38, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
