Swing dancing - this evening

I went out to the a Swing dance club this evening. I discovered (to little surprise) that the moves that I've done a lot, that are solidly engrained, those I can lead. But newer stuff, stuff that I haven't practiced a lot -- I can't do those "live". I need to work them into my muscle memory a lot more before I can actually have a hope of leading them.

Also, I have to make my lead more solid, more clear. This does go hand-in-hand with feeling confident about what I'm leading. If I feel I know it well, I can lead it more solidly, but if I feel iffy about it, then it is far harder.

Having someone to practice with would really help. *sigh*
