[b]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.)
That's usually the case and it works well but it's interesting that Lorna did add a little bit of style to one of the moves last night and there was a ripple of interest/astonishment through the crowd as we did it because it suddenly looked different but it was just what they were doing.
As she explained it was a matter of sweeping the foot back more for the ladies and the men allowing sufficient room and not crowding her. So some style points can be added during a class and make a huge difference to a move.
But I think doing a move again a week later is good though no doubt there are those who feel they would be losing out ! As Sandy said, it was easier to pick up one of H's moves a few days after the workshop as we'd all gone through it several times and so it was much easier to pick upand remember. |
