Should I learn the man and ladies part in dancing?

The more you know about a certain thing the better. As a lead, learning the followers part will help you understand what you need to do as a leader. A leader should be using his back and core to lead the steps, not the arms.  A lot of times this is a difficult concept and it is easier to understand if you can feel the difference in the followers part when it is tried both ways. As a follower it can be equally important to learn the lead for a step so that you can learn to follow a light lead instead of a heavy one. However,  I would only recommend this if you both leader and follower have been dancing for AT LEAST a few months or more.
