What kind of dance? My experience of things that are helpful in learning social dance (swing, contra, etc.) 1) Try the other role sometimes - if you normally dance lead, try dancing follow so you discover the good and bad things leads sometimes do. 2) Ask for feedback from good dancers. 3) Ask leads how they do particular things you want to learn. Follows normally can't teach you much about leading because they don't know how to do it.
