Sure! Your dance dummy/partner/friend is welcome, but not required.

PROs
🟢  they will learn how to support your homework drills.

🟢  they can help take notes and film video during the lesson.

🟢  they can offer valuable feedback (during, and after the lesson) comparing how you "feel" vs. how the teacher feels. 

🟢  their feedback during the lesson allows us to tailor your ability to dance comfortably and expressively with them, specifically.

🟢  they will learn something, a benefit to them!

CONs:
❌  depending on the topic, they may need some coaching, or, may not be able to provide the partnership skills needed to help you learn. 

❌  it can be less expedient to learn new things with a dance dummy, and you will forfeit valuable hands-on time with the teacher.

A note for followers:
A dance dummy is required if you are an advanced follower who wants to work on high-level skills that I can't lead, i.e.: tricks, ducks, accelerations, weight supports, counterbalances/rides, pirouettes, lifts, etc. Please bring a leader who is comfortable with the topic, and/or keen to learn.
