That seems to be a common problem in dance classes.
The organisers are caught between teaching people to dance properly and losing out when they get bored after months of basics, or teach people the flashy moves so they stay, but end up being crap dancers.
The class I went to seemed to have found a good balance, and I think I made it clear to them that I don't want to move onto difficult moves until I have mastered the basics (or at least got OK at them
).
That's why I'm also looking at doing a foundation course for Lindy Hop too.
