I just thought - how would I feel if learning ballroom dancing (someday, someday) and the teacher was continually adjusting the tilt of my head or the positioning of my hand on my partner's back? I wouldn't last two weeks at such a class.
I know, I know these things are
really, really important but I just want to dance and concentrating on what I am doing wrong too early would demoralise me.
