Editing Lead and follow (section)

===Recovery from miscommunication===
Sometimes a miscommunication will occur between the leader and follower. Techniques of the recovery of connection and synchronization vary from dance to dance, but below are a few common examples.

*In dances without obligatory body contact (Latin, swing, hustle, [[Glossary of partner dance terms#American Smooth|American Smooth]]), [[Glossary of dance moves#Free spin|free spin]] recovers from anything.
*In dances danced in body contact (waltz, tango, [[quickstep]], [[foxtrot]]) it is very important to recover the feet match. To recover, leaders may initiate a well-known (i.e. basic) step with slightly exaggerated sideways shift of weight to force the follower to free the required foot. For example, in waltz or foxtrot one might end a measure in the open [[promenade position]], as there would then be no doubt as to the direction of the movement and which foot to use at the beginning of the next measure.
