What if a couple could lead and follow each other, and then switch, and then switch back? Trevor Copp and Jeff Fox are adapting traditional partner dancing and making it more representative of our current era. Learn to be a masculine follow or a feminine lead. With Liquid Lead Dancing anything is possible.
