Personally I like the way the moves are taught; 1, 2, 1+2, 3, 1+2+3... however most of the 'Style' or tips and tricks are saved for workshops (or up to the dancer to figure out by observation.)

How about doing a mini-basic/style/tequneique workshop on stage (minus speakers) during the first freestyle session?
- The moves from the beginners class can be developed and corrected
- Beginners see what a 'workshop' actually entails
- Advice is given to a larger audience
- Would it interfear with the taxi-dancer's "job" ?
- Would two/three couples want to be grilled infront of the class?
- Would there be a massive demand and the selection have to be a lottery?
- Would more people watch than dance, and so the free-style dance time is lost?
- Would the teachers be willing to sacrifice their freestyle time?
- Would it encourage people to attend workshops, or discourage them?

Thoughts?
