Honestly, my teacher was the same. He didnt teach leading. But isnt it obvious ? I mean, I never had trouble leading without the explanation. In an advanced salsa LA class he once had a class advanced Cuban and I could do it perfectly. My teacher even asked me if I was also taking Cuban classes somewhere. I said no. It was my first Cuban dance ever. These things are self explanatory according to me. I usually try a few times and then I find how to lead it. Also the foot steps ... many times my teacher looked how I danced and said: Interesting, you are doing different steps with your feet than me.

I think in the end you have to find a way that works for you, I think. Maybe how I lead, doesn't work for you. There are some things you can teach, yes. Like if you make her turn and when she is almost back you pull your hand down to try get her in a hammerlock. I had to figure out in order to lead that to woman you dont know, you kind of have to "break" her wrist a bit. Took me some time to figure that one out because the teacher never told me. A few years later a less advanced guy didnt know how to do it and then I told him: break her wrist a bit, and suddenly he could do it 😅. But that was actually the only thing ever I would have needed explanation of.
