Basic Poem
基本舞步
If you master the basics, you can continue advancing. If not, you will get worse and continue with bad habits.

Lead and Follow
领带和跟随
The lead is not 100% of the dance. The lead is 50% and the following is 50%. Put them together and we can enjoy dancing with each other 100%. The follower always needs to contribute 50%. To follow means to help the leader also. The follow is as important and difficult as the lead. Men should be careful to lead the woman softly and gently so that the woman is not uncomfortable.
领带的重要性不是百分之百。领带占百分之五十，跟随占百分之五十。将二者结合我们才能百分之百地彼此分享共舞的快乐。跟随同时也意味着帮助领带。跟随的重要性和难度和领带是一样的。男人必须以轻柔，文雅的动作小心地领带女人，这样才能不让女人感到不舒服。

If we have a 100% perfect lead and a 100% perfect follow, we can not only enjoy dancing, but we can also dance feeling very comfortable. To feel very comfortable with our partner, we need good basics, we need to get into the rhythm and listen carefully to the music.
假如我们有百分百完美的领带和百分百完美的跟随，我们不仅能享受舞蹈的乐趣，而且我们还会感到非常地舒适。要想与我们的舞伴感觉舒适，我们需要好的基本步，需要非常用心地听音乐，进入音乐的韵律中。
Anyone can dance well with an advanced partner, but that goes without saying. If you can dance well with a beginner, then you can say that you can dance well. Please don't forget!
勿须多言，每个人都能和一个好舞伴跳好一支舞。但是只有当你能与一个初学者跳好，那么你才能说你跳得好。请不要忘记这一点!
