Your shared skills matter more than the list of figures
For your partner dance course in Nuremberg, what matters is what works between you. One person may know many step sequences and still lead too late. The other may know only a few figures, but keep the beat confidently and respond to small cues. Knowing figures alone therefore does not describe your shared course level.
Consider rhythm, weight changes, and connection separately. During a weight change, your body weight lands on one foot so the other becomes free. In the connection, your arms remain responsive without becoming stiff. Leading means offering a movement in good time; following means noticing it and carrying it out independently. These roles are independent of gender.
You can work on different levels of experience within the same basic step: you practise the timing of your cues, while your partner practises completing the weight change. It becomes difficult when one person has to explain every repetition. Then the chosen level is too advanced for you as a couple, or the learning objective is too unclear.
Signing up together does not automatically determine whether partners change. The guide to the dance course without partner changes explains how practising with the same partner differs from changing partners.
