(Level: All) After you and your partner grow comfortable with mirroring, and hopefully have a bit more insight into how the other moves, a great exercise is echoing. Instead of trying to move in exact unison (or, at the same time) as your partner, here the follower will aim to allow them to finish a movement done by the leader and then copy it. At first, the follower should try to do the move exactly as the leader did it. Once that becomes easier, the follower should come up with a way to modify the leader’s move to make it their own, while still keeping the basic idea of the move intact. For example, if the leader puts their arm out to the side very fast, the follower can instead choose to put their arm out to the front very fast. See what you and your partner come up with!
